Wentworth Miller Comes Out

His coming out appears in a letter refusing to attend a Russian film festival

Prison Break star (and sometime alleged boyfriend of Luke McFarlane) Wentworth Miller came out as gay in a letter response to an invitation to attend the St. Petersburg International Film Festival.

Miller declined to participate writing:

"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."

The letter copies his agents.

Miller also wrote Stoker, which came out earlier this year.
