During her speech at the Human Rights Campaign’s THRIVE conference Feb. 14, the actress revealed that she had "suffered for years" before making the decision to come out as gay. "My spirit suffered, my mental health suffered, and my relationship suffered. And I’m standing here today with all of you on the other side of that pain," she said.

Page stars as mutant Kitty Pryde in "X-Men: Days of Future Past," out in theaters May 22.
