Wentworth Miller, protagonista buenorro de ‘Prison Break’ (que casi todo el mundo sabía que era gay) ha salido oficialmente del armario con una carta al presidente del Festival de Cine de San Petersburgo.
Básicamente ha dicho que le encantaría ir pero que, como «hombre gay» que es, no puede aceptar por cómo se está tratando a los gays en Rusia. Aquí tienes la carta completa. Bien hecho, Wentworth.
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.
Wentworth Miller
