We still haven't stopped applauding Ellen Page for coming out, and now that we have even more reason to praise her, we'll just keep clapping if Juno what we're sayin'!

Michael Cole-Schwartz, the director of communications for the Human Rights Campaign, which organized the Time to THRIVE conference where Ellen publicly announced that she was gay, claimed that idea was all hers:

OMG!

Ellen Page just came out of the closet!

At Friday's THRIVE Conference for LGBT youth in Las Vegas, the X-Men: Days Of Future Past star declared proudly to a packed crowd that she was tired of living a lie! She said:

"I’m here today because I am gay…

I am tired of hiding and I am tired of lying by omission. I suffered for years because I was scared to be out. My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered and my relationships suffered. And I’m standing here today, with all of you, on the other side of all that pain."

Yes! You go, gurl! We're behind you 100%!

See Ellen's entire inspirational speech …AFTER THE JUMP!!!

Diva in the house!!!

Jennifer Lopez was honored with the Ally for Equality Award at the Human Rights Campaign National Dinner in Washington, D.C. Saturday night, in recognition for her work for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender equality.

Well-deserved!

The actress wrapped her curves up in a velvet Zuhair Murad high-neck gown featuring beaded mesh panels along the arms, bodice, legs, AND back!

Who says you have to temper your seksiness just because you're hanging out with Gloria Steinem in D.C.?!

J.Lo complemented the rich burgundy color of her dress with berry lips and a touch of plum eyeshadow.

Is there an Ally for Hotness Award they can give her, too? LOLz!

Wentworth Miller is a true inspiration.

As you'll recall, the Prison Break actor chose to come out of the closet by declining an invitation to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival due to Russia's treatment and attitude toward the LGBT community.

Saturday night, Miller revealed an even deeper secret at the Human Rights Campaign Dinner. He told the audience seated in Seattle that his first suicide attempt occurred when he was only 15 years old.

Only 15 years old. Awful.

Telling his emotional story, he revealed that he wasn't consuming a bottle of pills to cry for help because:

The iconic musician, fashionista, and humanitarian will work together with her beautiful boy-toy Brahim Zaibat on a huge human rights campaign for his clothing line, Defend Paris, and we genuinely cannot wait to see them unveil it!

Don't adjust your browsers, dear readers — neither Facebook nor Twitter are broken!

You probably woke up to pink and red equal signs taking your social media outlets by storm this morning, but fear not because it's all for a totally awesome cause!!

The US Supreme Court spent Tuesday dragging its feet while listening to arguments for and against gay marriage, but there are millions of people who refused to let their voices go unheard!!

In an effort to bring awareness to the critically important battle to allow all couples who love each other the right to marry, the miracle workers over at the Human Rights Campaign are encouraging EVERYONE — us, you, your crazy uncle who doesn't like kids walking on their lawn — to replace their profile pics with these pink and red equal signs for these next few critical days.

This is pretty much the greatest idea since
