ELLEN PAGE AND SAMANTHA THOMAS

During a red carpet event for her movie with Julianne Moore, Freeheld, actress Ellen Page came out to the public about her relationship with artist Samantha Thomas. The timing of their coming out couldn’t have been more perfect, as the movie tackled a lesbian couple’s struggle to fight for their legal rights, with a lawyer on board. Since then, Page has been very vocal about her deep love for her girlfriend, Thomas and about her staunch support for the LGBT community as well.

During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, she said: “To be shooting the movie so soon after coming out was some of the most joy I’ve ever felt on a film set.”
