美劇《越獄》男主角文特沃斯?米勒日前在同性戀者反詆毀聯盟網站上發表公開信，拒絕了俄羅斯圣彼得堡國際電影節官方邀請，同時承認了自己的同性戀身份，正式出柜。米勒在信中表示“作為一名同性戀者，我必須拒絕這個邀請”。41歲的米勒說：“我對俄羅斯政府目前對待男女同性戀者的態度深表憂慮，同性戀者在俄羅斯的境遇是完全無法接受的。我沒有辦法到一個全面剝奪我們這類人生活和公開相愛權利的國家參加慶?；顒印！?今年6月，俄羅斯議會通過一項法案，規定對組織同性戀游行或者為18歲以下人群提供同性戀相關信息的人處以高額罰金。1993年同性戀在俄羅斯合法化，但是民眾反同的情緒卻依舊高漲。俄羅斯的保守態度受到了西方政客和民間團體的抨擊，同性戀組織曾發起活動抵制明年二月在索契舉辦的2014冬季奧運會。米勒的母親為俄羅斯血統，在此之前，一直有媒體猜測他的性取向問題。

Wentworth, who was to be honoured at the festival, said he was "deeply troubled" by attitudes in Russia. |
Prison Break star Wentworth Miller has refused an invitation to a film festival in St Petersburg in protest over Russia's new anti-gay laws.
"It would make me happy to say yes," he wrote in a letter to festival director Maria Averbakh. "However, as a gay man, I must decline."
Wentworth, who was to be honoured at the festival, said he was "deeply troubled" by attitudes in Russia.
In June, the Russian parliament overwhelmingly backed a bill which prescribes heavy fines for anyone organising a gay pride event or providing information about homosexuality to people under 18.
"I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government," wrote Wentworth, 41, in a letter posted on GLAAD's (Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) website.
"The situation is in no way acceptable."
"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."
Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but anti-gay sentiment is high.
It has been widely criticised by Western politicians and human rights groups, and gay rights campaigners have launched a tentative campaign for a boycott of the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, due to be held in Sochi in February.
Wentworth, whose mother is of Russian origin, is best known for his role in the award-winning TV series Prison Break, for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe in 2006.
Most recently he wrote the screenplay for Stoker, starring Nicole Kidman and Mia Wasikowska, released in the UK earlier this year.
While his sexual orientation had been the subject of tabloid speculation, the actor had not publicly acknowledged he was gay until the letter was published.
