The Canadian star of the teen drama "Juno" came out for the first time at a youth LGBT community conference in Las Vegas in February.
"I'm here today because I am gay, and because ... Maybe I can make a difference," she told the crowd. She went on, "to help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility."
Page said she suffered for years having to hide her sexuality while in the public eye.
