As a culture we have a terrible habit of feeling like celebrity means we are entitled to someone-- they become "public property" and we expect them to live up to whatever our ideas are of them and to just accept any breaches of privacy or decency (after all they no longer have a right to privacy, they're "ours" now). Because of this when someone acts outside of their prescribed role we take it as a personal betrayal. It's asinine and messed up on so many levels.
Folks can grow the hell up, Ellen Page belongs to Ellen Page.
Also I'm with you that it's pathetic this is still a "brave" move. It should no longer be a career-harming or safety issue to be open that you are whatever you are. Such bullshit in our "enlightened" age.
