Ellen Page Twitter: ‘Into The Forest’ Actress Slams Queen After Honoring Anti-LGBT Politician!

Ellen Page's latest Twitter post made headlines after the "Into The Forest" actress slammed the Queen when she honored an anti-LGBT politician for the yearly New Year Honours list.

The 27-year-old Ellen Page, an openly lesbian actress, said in her Twitter: "The Queen honored a politician who blamed Hurricane Katrina & AIDS on LGBT people - f*** that."

The actress' post, shared to her 1.2 million followers, has been retweeted over 2,000 times and was accompanied by a picture of the Queen.

The anti-LGBT politician the "Into The Forest" actress was referring to is Northern Ireland politician Maurice Mill, a Democratic Unionist Party councillor for Ballymena. 

The New Year Honours list is in celebration for the honorees' public life achievements and because they have "committed themselves to serving and helping Britain."

Maurice Mills gathered fury from pro-gays when he had blamed the LGBT community for the destruction of hurricane Katrina, Buzz Feed said.

In 2005, the politician said that "the media failed to report that the hurricane occurred just two days prior to the annual homosexual event called the Southern Decadence festival [in New Orleans] which the previous year had attracted an estimated 125,000 people. Surely this is a warning to nations where such wickedness is increasingly promoted and practised."

Maurice Mills also blamed gays for the spreading AIDS in Africa.

"This abominable and filthy practice of sodomy has resulted in the great continent of Africa being riddled with Aids," the politician was quoted saying.

Ellen Page's Twitter post does not come as a surprise since the "Into The Forest" actress has been involved in her pro-LGBT advocacy campaign.

She came out as gay early last year in an LGBT conference in Las Vegas, The Daily Mail said.

In her speech, Ellen Page admitted that she suffered years of keeping her secret that she is a lesbian.
