Actress Ellen Page (Juno/X-Men) sat down with The Late Show’s Stephen Colbert to promote her new Netflix show The Umbrella Academy, but the interview took an unexpected turn when Page began discussing gay marriage and the hate crime against actor Jussie Smollett:

 “Vice President Mike Pence.. wishes I couldn’t be married. Let’s just be clear. The Vice President of America wishes I didn’t have the love I have with my wife. He wanted to ban that in Indiana. He believes in conversion therapy. He has hurt LGBTQ people so badly as the governor of Indiana, and I think what we need to know and I hope my show Gaycation did this in terms of connecting the dots, in terms of what happened the other day to Jussie, I don’t know him personally, I send all my love, connect the dots. This is what happens. If you are in a position of power and you hate people and you want to cause suffering to them, you go through the trouble, you spend your career trying to cause suffering, what do you think is going to happen? Kids are going to be abused, and they’re going to kill themselves, and people are going to be beaten on the street. I have traveled the world, and I have met the most marginalized people you could meet. I am lucky to have this time and the privilege to say this. This needs to f*cking stop.”
