"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," the 41-year-old Wentworth Miller wrote in a letter to the festival's director.The world was so shocked at his unexpected revelation! They all said, he didn't look 41 at all! :D

Russians creep me out somehow. They have their unique way of taking out the fun in things.
June 16 - it was announced that Miss Universe 2013 will be held in Moscow, Russia.
June 30 - Russian President Vladimir Putin signed anti-gay propaganda law!
Aug. 15 - Andy Cohen, the lovable, frequent Miss Universe award winning host begged off the job for fear of his own.
Miss Universe is the Oscar's/Pulitzer for gay people! Gays skip work, check-in a hotel for this major, major annual event! Gays used to sweat with glitters as the top 10 finalists are announced. Now, we may just be sweating with fear for our LGBT sisters/brothers in Russia. :o

On a serious note, here's how hot stuff Wentworth Miller came out or made it public-

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.

The Russian organizers were very disappointed with Michael Scofield's rejection of their offer. After all they always bragged they have better prisons than US.
He is finally free and liberated indeed when he made that firm stand to not support the country with the anti-gay law. *group hug again!* :)

Russia's Putin signs anti-gay measures into law
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed into law a measure that stigmatizes gay people and bans giving children any information about homosexuality.
The lower house of Russia's parliament unanimously passed the Kremlin-backed bill on June 11 and the upper house approved it last week.
The ban on "propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations" is part of an effort to promote traditional Russian values over Western liberalism, which the Kremlin and the Russian Orthodox Church see as corrupting Russian youth and contributing to the protests against Putin's rule.
Hefty fines can now be imposed on those who provide information about the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to minors or hold gay pride rallies.
The Kremlin announced Sunday that Putin has signed the legislation into law.
