Actor and producer Elliot Page speaks openly about his childhood. He explains how hard it was growing up queer. Page describes the feeling as 'carrying stones of shame'.

Page is known from films and series worldwide. He came out as transgender in December 2020. Since then, he often speaks about his LGBTQ+ experiences.

In a new interview, Page discusses a special film. The film explores animal behaviour in nature. Schools often don't explain much of this behaviour in biology lessons.

Page calls the film 'funny' and 'beautifully made'. He believes it's important for people to learn more. Animals actually display queer behaviour too. This is scientifically proven.

According to Page, this information helps young queer people. When young people see queer behaviour in nature, they feel less alone. Shame can then decrease.

Page wants to inspire other LGBTQ+ people through his work. He believes honest stories about queer experiences matter greatly. Such stories can change lives.

Many LGBTQ+ young people still struggle with their identity. They grow up in a world that sometimes doesn't understand them. Page wants to show it can improve.

The film highlights animal species with surprising behaviours. Think of animals that change partners or have two mothers. These examples are scientifically interesting and socially important.

Page hopes schools will pay attention to this topic. More knowledge creates more understanding. More understanding improves young queer people's lives.

Elliot Page remains an important voice in the LGBTQ+ community. He uses his platform to raise awareness. His openness helps others accept themselves.
