Prison Break star Wentworth Miller has come out as gay in a letter rejecting an offer to be honored at the St. Petersburg International Film Festival.
《越狱》男星温特沃什·米勒在一份拒绝圣彼得堡国际电影节的信中，正式出柜承认自己是同性恋。

"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," Miller wrote in a letter to festival director Maria Averbakh.
米勒在写给电影节主席玛利亚·阿维尔巴赫的信中这样写道：“以前我多次造访过俄罗斯，我甚至可以说自己还有部分俄罗斯血统，这样的渊源我其实很乐意答应前往，但因为我是一名同性恋，我必须拒绝。”

He goes on to cite Russia's recent crackdown on gay, lesbian and transgendered people as his reason for declining the invitation.
他在信中继续说明，俄罗斯近日对同性恋和变性人群的镇压是他拒绝邀请的主要原因。

"I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government," he writes. "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."
他这样写道：“俄罗斯政府近日的反同性恋人群的态度让我非常困扰，这样现状我绝对无法接受，我无法违背良心参加由这样一个国家举办的庆祝活动，因为在这个国家里，像我这样的同性恋，他们生存和公开示爱的基本权利被法律剥夺了。”
