Break
star ,41 year old Wenworth Miller has declared his status as a gay man
after being invited to attend a film festival in Russia.In a letter to
Maria Averbakh, director of the St. Petersburg International Film
Festival 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."
