Out actress Ellen Page got into a
heated debate with a homophobic preacher in D.C. on Friday.
Page, 29, was in the nation's capital
for the inauguration of President Donald Trump and Saturday's Women's
March.

TMZ.com posted video of Page outside
the National Press Building debating the preacher over sexuality.
“Homosexuality, that's a demonic,
toxic feeling,” the unidentified preacher told Page. “That's
what you become, that's not who you are. Who you are is when you
come out your mother's womb.”
Page told the preacher that she felt
for him.
“We're not gonna get anywhere.
You'll believe this your whole life. I feel for you,” Page
said.
Page and Ian Daniel are the co-hosts of
Viceland's Gaycation, which has the pair roaming the world in
search of what it's like to be lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender.
While TMZ did not indicate that the footage was from an upcoming
episode, Daniel is seen standing next to Page.
