Adding on, he addressed the community by saying, "Thank you for your courage, your generosity, and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place."

Although it was a bold statement, the talented Canadian actor got candid about his whirlwind of emotions in letting such news in the media. 

He writes, " My Joy is real but is also fragile. The truth is, despite feeling profoundly happy right now and knowing how much privilege I carry, I am also scared; I'm scared of the invasiveness, the hate, the 'jokers' and of violence."

Truth be told, in today's modern society, where there are opportunities to be vocal about one's choice of sexuality, there is equally a huge question mark on people's ethics. Homophobic people are a real thing, and it still stands to be why many people find it hard to come out. 

In Elliot's case, the media went crazy with support, love, and admiration for her boldness. His fans and celebrity friends flooded his Instagram page with positive comments and adoration. 

Some famous media figures to support her were Mark Ruffalo, Raquel Willis, James Gunn, Anna Kendrick, Nikita, James Charles, Alyssa Milano, Olivia Munn, Miley Cyrus, Ruby Rose,and many more.
