Former "Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller, declining an invitation to a film festival in Russia, has come out as gay.
The 41-year-old actor states in a letter to Maria Averbakh, director of the St. Petersburg International Film Festival. "However, as a gay man, I must decline. I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government. The situation is unacceptable, and I cannot in good conscience participate in a celebratory occasion hosted by a country where people like myself are being systematically denied their basic right to live and love openly.
Wentworth's bold show of support sends a strong powerful message to Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender all around the world.
