"Juno" Star Ellen Page took Twitter to ask Republican Governor Rick Perry "Are you for real?" after the latter compared homosexuality to being an alcoholic.
The recently came out lesbian said in her Ellen Page Twitter: "@thinkprogress: Rick Perry derides gay 'lifestyle', compares it to alcoholism https://thkpr.gs/1v3DzbI " are you for real? @GovernorPerry,"
The Texas governor was with the members of the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco when he was quoted saying "Whether or not you feel compelled to follow a particular lifestyle or not, you have the ability to decide not to do that."
"I may have the genetic coding that I'm inclined to be an alcoholic, but I have the desire not to do that, and I look at the homosexual issue the same way," he added.
Criticisms against the governor appeared in Ellen Page Twitter from other social media users who bashed what the Texas Governor Rick Perry said.
Ellen Page Twitter follower Josh M tweeted: @EllenPage @thinkprogress @GovernorPerry may be drunk..."
Another follower Jett Wilson quipped, "@EllenPage @thinkprogress @GovernorPerry rumor is he's experienced both."
Meanwhile, the 27-year-old "Juno" star seems to be enjoying her life as a proud gay with her trademark tom boy cap after she came out in her speech for a Las Vegas conference on LGBT teens on Valentine's Day, the Independent UK said.
Ellen Page told Flare magazine in her cover shoot that going public about her sexual preference made her freer.
"I feel more creatively inspired than I have in years," she said in her interview, adding "I'm sure it has to do with a lot of bricks being taken out of the backpack."
Ellen Page was seen wearing her cap while strolling on Sunday at The Grove mall in West Hollywood with a pretty brunette friend, the Daily Mail said.
Wearing mustard button-down polo shirt and ripped denim jeans, the lesbian actress strolled outside the mall with her pal deeply engrossed in a light conversation.
She matched her outfit with shades and mustard shoes while her wavy hair flow freely beneath her tom boy cap.
