Actor and screenwriter Wentworth Miller(known as Michael Scofield) decided to tell the world that he’s gay in a rejection letter to the director of the St. Petersburg International Film Festival. Wentworth, 41, turned down the director’s offer to travel to Russia for the event, saying he objects to the Russian government’s treatment of gay men and women.
SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He wrote in his letter:
"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".
Wentworth, who is best known for his role as Michael Scofield in Fox’s Prison Break, went on to say, “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.”
“If circumstances improve, I’ll be free to make a different choice,” he added.
He just broke the heart of many WOMEN who adore him for his looks and exceptional acting prowess.
