Ellen Page's coming out speech
Ellen Page's coming out speech
What a great speech. She comes out around 5:20 mark but the entire speech is worth listening to. She's got a talent for public speaking.

Well done. There are still plenty of morons out there that have issues with gay people so, "who cares" really isn't a good response but with any luck, would be a good one in the future.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
I thought she came out years ago. File me under the "who cares" crowd.
The gay football dude was brave. An actress coming out in Hollywood is just passe at this point. Those barriers were knocked down a long time ago. My black female co-worker had a great response when she saw it - "Yeah, and I sat in the front of the bus today. I didn't need to make a speech about it!" It was pretty funny!
Still, it's obviously very personal to her and she was very genuine. It's not like it was a shock though.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
I don't disagree with this, but anyone who blazes the path is inherently taking more risk than those who support a movement once it's already pretty much accepted.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
I repeat:
Just last week on the front page of CNN was an article about Arizona passing a law that allows restaurant owners to ban gays from their establishments.
Yeah, all is well.
I forgive Fairweather for being dense when it comes to this. He was probably raised in a home with lots of prejudice. If he can't blame his parents, that just makes him twice as sad.

There are really very few countries this is acceptable in.
It sucks because frankly who gives a shit who someone else sleeps with? As long as they are of age, consentual and not an animal it should not matter.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
Honestly, I agree with this bill. It should not even need to be based off of religious views is the problem with it. If I am a business owner and I only want to do business with one person and refuse service to everyone else, that is my prerogative. Of course, a business that wants to exclude people purely based off of sexuality or race is not going to last very long. Frankly, I think any Christian who would refuse service based off sexuality or race or anything like that is a hypocrite and is making up their own rules.Tyek wrote:Winnow wrote:You can certainly tell the region of the country people are from on this board.

I can agree with what Kilmoll is saying. We should accept cultural niches. It's just too bad that that turns into shitting on the types of people we don't like.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
You can already refuse service under certain conditions. Based on the little I have seen of that law, it is written to be abused. It will get thrown out in court.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
File me under the "who cares" crowd too. No, I didn't watch the video. I'm sure it's important to her but others' sexual preference is a matter of indifference to me.
She's a Canadian actress in Hollywood; unless she steps out and actually does something useful afterwards this has no bearing on anyone or anything. Except maybe satisfying a teenage need for drama. Similar to using the term heterosexist.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
I guess I can be kind of lumped in with the "Who Cares" crowd. Only in so much as I don't really care if a person is gay, straight or other. I form my opinions on their actions rather than their labels. What I don't like are people who think they are something more special than someone else and flaunt their gayness, religiousness, or what have you ness, and expect special treatment as a result. You're Gay? So what. Can you fix my car or not?
Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
If only religious institutions paid taxes. Would rake 80 billion / year in America.What I don't like are people who think they are something more special than someone else and flaunt their gayness, religiousness, or what have you ness, and expect special treatment as a result.
Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
"Who cares" works great for you but unfortunately gays still get harassed, beat up, etc. for jsut being gay and Ellen Page was addressing a conference regarding that as much as "coming out". Who cares is great for you but it's still nowhere near a "who cares issue for the general public although each individual probably feels that way.Bubba Grizz wrote:I guess I can be kind of lumped in with the "Who Cares" crowd.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
People get harassed, beat up, etc, just because all the time without the benefit of being gay. I'm all for supporting giving gay people every right straight people have, but that includes getting their ass kicked for being different and not having the decency to blend in with the crowd the same way the rest of the freaks and geeks have to.Winnow wrote: "Who cares" works great for you but unfortunately gays still get harassed, beat up, etc. for jsut being gay and Ellen Page was addressing a conference regarding that as much as "coming out".

Until Gene Roddenberry's vision of the planet coming together and uniting in harmony to pick fights with aliens instead, I don't see what makes the gays special.

Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
The future is now Winnow. You sure do pick the dumbest shit to try and claim the moral high ground on. The Republican Party, whom you support, is single handidly responsible for not only keeping the anti gay hate alive, but also throwing as much fuel on the fire as possible.Winnow wrote:"who cares" really isn't a good response but with any luck, would be a good one in the future.
You implying that I am some hate monger raised in a house of prejudice is really a shot in the dark. My best friend is gay. My uncle is gay. I have 2 gay cousins. I dated openly bisexual women. My daughter's kindergarten class has a transgender student. My wife and I are part of a commity of parents working with the school, child, and the parents to ensure lack of bullying and helping the other children to understand and accept her.
Basically, I did more for the LGBT community last night between 6:30-7:30pm than you have in your entire worthless, selfish life.
Re: Ellen Page's coming out speech
So "who cares" was not the appropriate response. Some people care. You may not.
Getting back to my original post.
1. I said it was a good speech.
2. Said Ellen Page has a talent for public speaking
3. Mentioned that there are still plenty of morons that have a prejudice against gays out of ignorance (religion) or being just plain idiots.
It's remains a good speech. The responses were interesting to get an idea of what people felt, and most (or all) didn't even watch the speech. The stereotyping was rampant "she's a celebrity so it doesn't matter!" People find excuses instead of watching the actual speech or choosing to not comment about it is telling. Not one person commented on the speech itself.

She doesn't have the draw in my case to make me want to listen to her on any topic I wouldn't otherwise be interested in. Had no clue who she was until I looked her up yesterday.
Someone posted a link to a Richard Feynman talk elsewhere, I watched just because it was him.
