Page first came out in 2014, with an emotional and inspiring speech at the Human Rights Campaign Foundation "Time to Thrive" conference.

"I'm here today because I am gay," Page said, pausing briefly after receiving a standing ovation from audience members. "And because maybe I can make a difference to help others have an easier and more hopeful time."

"I suffered for years because I was scared to be out," she added. "We deserve to experience love fully, equally, without shame and without compromise," she said.
