Valentines Day just got worse for the male audience.

Good for her though!

Ellen Page has come out as a gay woman.

The star of the upcoming X-Men: Days of Future Past made the announcement in a moving and deeply personal speech delivered at Time to THRIVE, a conference to promote the welfare of LGBT youth held at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"I’m here today because I am gay," Page, 26, told the audience "And because maybe I can make a difference. To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."

Watch her powerful speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hlCEIUATzg

It's just been rumored for forever. Granted, there are a lot of rumors about tons of actors. But, yeah, they've been rather persistent rumors.

BadAss2961 · Feb 15, 2014

That's... Kinda hot.

I never thought of her as hot until now.
