Ellen Page Fires Back At Homophobic Pastor, Wins The Twitter War

Ellen Page has had tons of support since coming out of the closet last February. "I am here today because I am gay," Page said at Human Rights Campaign Foundation “Time to Thrive” conference in Las Vegas.. "And, because maybe I can make a difference to help others have an easier and more hopeful time." Despite the flood of love Page has received, the aforementioned "easier and more hopeful time" is slow to come.

A letter, since removed from the Internet, was sent to Page by a pastor pulling the "gay is a choice" card. Rather than turn the other cheek, Page took to Twitter to address the pastor. "Being gay isn't a belief," she began after calling out the pastor. "[sic] My soul isnt struggling& I don't want arms of Heavenly Father around me."

Snarky, yes, but honest nonetheless. "A girls arms?," Page continued. "Yes." The rest is, as the kids used to say, history — Page: 1; Tuesday: 0. (Salon)
