In this essay I will explain how Page's fame profile and influence in the film industry and the world, her vocabulary and language applied in her speech, speech pronunciation and presentation, and the topic of discrimination between lesbians, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Himself (LBGT) contributes to the overall popularity of the discourse. It is the combinations between the speaker and the words that create a memorable speech. Ellen Page started playing big movie roles at a young age, becoming one of the big names in the film industry. The Oscar-nominated movie star has appeared in films such as Juno, Inception and this year's upcoming film X Men: Days of Future Past. At the young age of twenty-seven, speaking at the Human's Right Campaign Foundation's Time to THRIVE conference, she publicly came out as gay halfway through her speech. Not only did he surprise the entire world, but he also took a stand and passionately supported the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. “It's strange because here I am, an actress, representing, at least in some sense, an industry that imposes crushing standards on all of us, and not just young people, on everyone.” (Page, E 2014) By speaking openly about her industry and herself as an actress, regarding the great influence and sense of power she has, she shows a sense of responsibility to speak out. In that particular section of his speech, by admitting that the film industry has standards for "all of us", he brings everyone into his speech.
