Lovers of Prison Break would be shocked at this piece of information which unveils that their beloved Prison Break Star Wentworth Millar is gay. He revealed this yesterday 21st August via an open letter to the Saint Petersburge Film Festival rejecting an invitation to attend a premier there because of Russia's recently passed anti gay laws.
Read what he wrote:
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.
Until then. Wentworth Miller
