In an interview with Net-A-Porter, Page said she was initially directed by the people in the industry to never talk about her sexual orientation in public domain.
"I was distinctly told, by people in the industry, when I started to become known: 'People cannot know you're gay'. And I was pressured forced, in many cases to always wear dresses and heels for events and photo shoots.
"As if lesbians don't wear dresses and heels. But I will never let anyone put me in anything I feel uncomfortable in ever again," she said.
Page is a vocal advocate for LGBTQ issues and had most recently called out Chris Pratt for following an "infamously anti-LGBTQ church".
