Wentworth Miller comes out of the closet...

to oppose Russia's policies.

"After being invited to attend the St. Petersburg International Film Festival in Russia, the "Prison Break" star decided it was time to go public with his sexual orientation.

"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 wrote in a letter to the festival's director, which was posted on GLAAD's website. "However, as a gay man, I must decline."

Good for him. He was rumored to be gay years ago, and denied it. But when push came to shove, he did the right thing.

I know first hand (especially given his age) why he would have denied it.
