Miller's Crossing


"Prison Break" star Wentworth Miller -- long rumored to be gay -- officially came out of the closet today, in a letter to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival declining an invitation to appear there.


With Luke Macfarlane in 2007

Via GLAAD:
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. 
GLAAD spokesman Wilson Cruz later said:
"Wentworth's bold show of support sends a powerful message to LGBT Russians: you are not alone. "As people from across the globe continue to speak out against this horrific law, more celebrities and corporations should follow his courageous lead in openly condemning Russia's anti-LGBT law."
It's great to have another out gay actor on the scene. Pity he waited till he was fat and unemployed to do it instead of when he was starring on a huge television series!
