Michael Schofield admits He is GAY!

The Prison Break stud, Wentworth Miller, popularly known as Michael Schofield declined an invitation from the St. Petersburg International Film Festival due to his gay status.

He made it clear that he has zero intention implicitly condoning Russia's horrendous treatment of its LGBT community!

Here below is a scathing response Wentworth wrote to the Festival organizers, saying he was "deeply troubled" by the country's anti-LGBT laws and that he won't be visiting that part of the globe until they make a few changes!


He revealed:

"..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." 

I admire his courage by coming out being gay, without fear of criticism.

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.
