Here's why:
* Personal privacy: A person's sexual orientation is a deeply personal matter and not something anyone should be required to "prove."
* It's not a public matter: Whether someone is gay, straight, bisexual, or any other sexual orientation is not something that should be debated or questioned in the public sphere.
* It's disrespectful: Asking for proof of someone's sexual orientation implies that their self-identification is suspect or untrustworthy.
Ellen Page has publicly and openly identified as a lesbian. Her personal life and sexual orientation are her own, and we should respect her right to privacy and self-expression.
