The Umbrella Academy star Elliot Page reveals details of a homophobic threat he received from an unnamed actor shortly after coming out in 2014.
After a decade of advocating for gender and sexual rights, The Umbrella Academy's Elliot Page is detailing a homophobic threat he received from an unnamed actor. Page stars in the Netflix comic book adaptation as Viktor Hargreeves, the seventh of the Hargreeves siblings whose estrangement nearly leads to the end of the world and leads to their time-travelling antics.
"You aren’t gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men.” He said, “I’m going to f—k you to make you realize you aren’t gay." [We saw each other at the gym a few days later and he said], “I don’t have a problem with gay people I swear.” I told him, "I think you might." I've had some version of that happen many times throughout my life. A lot of queer and trans people deal with it incessantly.
