Sorry we haven't gotten this video up on Slog yet, dear readers. But if you have a minute and didn't get to it over the weekend, you should watch actress Ellen Page, seeming both very nervous and very brave, come out of the closet onstage at a Human Rights Campaign conference for people who work with LGBTQ youth.

She's not just there to announce herself, either; she works in a sort of complicated apology for being part of a fucked-up Hollywood machine, or at least some very real anger at what that industry does, how it works, how it's worked on her. It's great.

"Here I am, an actress, representing, at least in some sense, an industry that places crushing standards on all of us. And not just young people, everyone. Standards of beauty, of a good life, of success. Standards that, I hate to admit, have affected me. You have ideas planted in your head, thoughts you never had before, that tell you how you have to act, how you have to dress, and who you have to be."

If you can't watch the video, you can read her whole speech right here.
