She went on to say: “Walking down the carpet holding my girlfriend’s hand is pretty special.” Page added: “It’s pretty awesome.”
She recently opened up about playing her first openly gay character since coming out herself.
Freeheld is based on the true story of New Jersey police officer Laurel Hester – played by Julianne Moore – and Hester’s battle while terminally ill to make sure her partner Stacie Andree – who is played by Page – receives survivor pension benefits, as their relationship wasn’t recognised.
Page this week hit out at two of the Republicans running to be President – branding them “homophobic people”.
