Transgender actor and LGBTQ+ activist Elliot Page has written a new memoir in which he discusses gender, sexuality and loving yourself.
Actor Elliot Page’s long-anticipated memoir"Page Boy" is out for the world to read and is garnering a lot of buzz and praise. The relaxed storytelling and conversational approach to the book gives readers and admirers of Page a look into his turbulent childhood and rise to stardom while providing thoughtful anecdotes on sexuality and gender through a roadmap, as he figured out his identity.
In 2014, Page made headlines in Hollywood by coming out as gay at the Human Rights Campaign’s Time to Thrive, an LGBTQ+ conference."I am here today because I am gay. And because... maybe I can make a difference," he stated.He spoke about the importance of living life authentically, even when it isn’t the easiest choice. As one of a few LGBTQ+ individuals in the industry, he instantly became an image for queer youth and individuals to rally behind.
"The truth is, despite feeling profoundly happy right now and knowing how much privilege I carry, I am scared," he stated."I'm scared of the invasiveness, the hate, the 'jokes' and of violence."
