In a recent interview withPorterEdit,the actress admitted she’s “so in love” and absolutely adores “being married.”
“I’ll be walking my dog, and I start talking to people, and I end up telling them about my wife andmaking them look at our Instagram. I’m that person,” she told the outlet.
In 2014,Page came out as gay at a Human Rights Campaign eventin a rousing speech that earned her a standing ovation. The actress said she was ready to come out in hopes that her experience would help other people struggling with their sexuality.
Page — who’s starring in the new Netflix seriesThe Umbrella Academy— also opened up about how much more accepting Hollywood is of gay stars these days than it was when she was younger.
“I remember being in my early 20s and really believing it was impossible for me to come out,” the actress, who’s now anoutspoken advocatefor LGBTQ rights, toldPorterEdit. “But, over time, with more representation, hearts and minds have changed. It doesn’t happen quickly enough and it hasn’t happened enough, particularly for the most marginalized in the community. But things have got better.”
