Everyone’s public coming out is a deeply personal experience, but Page made the purposeful choice to use his statement to also call out people he sees as acting in bad faith to harm queer people—particularly politicians in positions of power and other public figures with sizable followings who listen to them.

“In 2020 alone it has been reported that at least 40 transgender people have been murdered, the majority of which were Black and Latinx trans women,” Page continued. “To the political leaders who work to criminalize trans health care and to deny our right to exist and to all of those with a massive platform who continue to spew hostility towards the trans community: you have blood on your hands.”

Page’s stance on how people use their platforms is nothing new. Last year, the actor publicly called out Guardians of the Galaxy’s Chris Pratt (something he later responded to) online for his association with Zoe Church, a Christian megachurch modeled after the Hillsong Church (which Pratt was formerly associated with) an organization whose founder Brian Housted said does “not affirm a gay lifestyle.”

Regardless of what someone’s personally held beliefs may be, it’s their actions in public and associations that send messages about the nature of their character to others. In Page’s case, the message appears to be that he’s jazzed as hell to share even more of his truth with people and to use his privilege to keep fighting the good fight both off-screen and on, as the third season for Netflix’s Umbrella Academy’s already been greenlit to begin production next year.
