"Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller comes out as gay

After being invited to a film festival in Russia, the television superstar decided to publicly announce his sexual orientation.

"Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes,"

the 41 year old wrote in a letter to Maria Averbakh, director of the St. Petersburg International Film Festival.

Just a quick reminder that Wentworth Miller COMPLETELY denied being gay for nearly 10 years.

Wentworth Miller of Prison Break fame has come out in a letter published on LGBT rights group GLAAD’s website. The star stated that he had recently rejected an invitation to a Russian Film Festival on account of the country’s stance towards homosexuality. Wentworth’s letter to the St. Petersburg Festival reads:

"Thank you for your kind invitation. As someone who has enjoyed visiting Russia in the past and can also claim a degree of Russian ancestry, it would make me happy to say yes.

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 in no way acceptable, 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.

Perhaps, when and if circumstances improve, I’ll be free to make a different choice.”

Actor Wentworth Miller (“Prsion Break”) Comes Out As Gay, Declines Attendance At Russian Film Festival 

Actor Wentworth Miller, of Prison Break, came out as “a gay man” in a letter sent Wednesday to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival, declining his participation because, he writes, “I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government.”

GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz noted in a statement, “Wentworth’s bold show of support sends a powerful message to LGBT Russians, who are facing extreme violence and persecution: you are not alone. As people from across the globe continue to speak out against Russia’s horrific law, more celebrities and corporations should follow his courageous lead in openly condemning Russia’s anti-LGBT law.”

“Like everyone, I’d been reading reports online about what was happening in Russia,” Miller says. “So when the invitation arrived, I thought, There is no way I can say yes. Then it occurred to me that if I made my response public, it might help draw additional attention to the situation. It felt like the right move at the right time.”
