Ellen Page has become the latest Hollywood star to come out.

She said: "I’m here today because I am gay… I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered.
"And I’m standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."
