Since coming out in 2015, Page, in seeking to aid her LGBT community, has taken anything but the Hollywood conformist route. Her confrontation with Ted Cruz made headlines last August, as did her role as a real-life lesbian in Freeheld, which she co-produced. This year, she can be seen in Viceland's queer-themed reality series Gaycation (now shooting its second season) and the dramedy Tallulah, co-starring Zachary Quinto.
