Re: St. Petersburg International Film Festival / "Guest of Honor" Invitation
Dear Ms. Averbakh:
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.

I’m so proud of him!!
Is he looking for a baby mama? I totally have his baby for him and his man ;)
AND IF HE IS IN CHARACTER AS MICHAEL SCOFIELD? :/
Yes, I’m so proud of him, he’s so human, social, intelligent, handsome, nice and friendly. I love him more than ever.
He sold himself as a sex symbol, as every woman’s dream man, and became wealthy because of that false image. He had denied to be gay …”I want marry and have kids…” …” I am not gay, I want a girlfriend and a family, I’am just waiting for the right woman.”
I wish he’d had the courage to do this when he was dating Luke Macfarlane. It doesn’t sound fair but it is what it is.
to wentworth miller is referred to as a man discreet privacy.
has not been published, as others!
with sensitive issues such as this ... I refuse to believe he did such a publication as direct ... (first of all, my compliments to the collective ..)
I think we have handled, or grinding, or taken out of context ...
rejections, humiliations towards something or someone ... events and situations can lead to despair, evil, sinking ...
I want to trust my player wentworth ... will know how to solve this issue ... either for better or for worse ... will do the right thing.
I'll believe it only when formally confirming their handwriting ... as they have made others ..
No es ni el primer ni el ultimo en ser gay no no lo hace meno peesona Al contrario creo que es mas hombre que cualquiera porque se nesesita tener un corazon valiente para hacer lo que hizo my amor el no cambia sige siendo el amor de my vida my love you forever wenty Miller no deja de ser un gran actor y escritor el mas lindo y el mas guapo rique Martin tambien conso ser gay y nadie le Quito su apoyo te quiero ahora y siempre went Miller kis kiss
No se si es cierto todo lo que se disen porque se le a visto tambien con varias chicas tambien en muchas ocasiones y Como lo mirava no creo que sea tan gay talves lo hase mas por apoyar una causa justa ....se supone que sale con Luke ..seria bueno que le agan una entrevista hasi Como le hisieron a Riqui Martin
I remember that statement too,plus he always said he liked women not men,whenever he was asked about being gay…
The things people do for fame,denying who they are,is sad.Like he said- everybody should be free to love & live the way they want,without hiding & lying.
as I mentioned earlier ...
I insist on not believing that the actor wentworth miller is gay (despite his comment ..), again that may have been misinterpreted his words.
to my understanding, would be inappropriate, "something funky" ... thereby admitting their sexuality! I think if I were, I would have officially expressed for years, when rumored the first time!
also, the guild mates, (actors and actresses), I did it that way and public official, giving the face on TV or in magazines interviews!
and not in the way as "strange" as the actor wentworth ...
been a few days .. wentworth and actor, he has not say anything of what is happening! carazteriza is a serious, honest, brave knight, to set the record straight ...
if true all these news ... daria official publicly face like the rest ...
his silence is too weird! because?
Que disen su amigos mas conosido sus companero de la prision break para my sigue sindo el mas sxy lindo gupo del mundo lo reamo no deja ser mi amor my vida te quiero lo que me duele es lo que disen ser sus fans lo critican Como si fuese un pecado ser gay no tiene nada de malo el siguie siendo el el que todo almieramos te quiero mi love you forever
"I'm not gay, but that rumor can't be killed. I'd like to have a girlfriend and a family. But I haven't met the right one yet. Until then I'm focusing on my job. I had to wait so long for this chance I savor every second on set even if it means 14 hours of shooting a day."
China is a homophobic country, too, but you went there several times to earn money filming commercials…
Closet break!
