Today, it was revealed that Wentworth Miller, star of the hit television series Prison Break has come out as a gay man. Miller, partially of Russian extraction, had been invited to a festival of some kind in Russia, and he publicly replied that he would not attend because, as a gay man, he cannot go to Russia while the LGBTQ community is suffering so much intense discrimination.
When a celebrity comes out, it can be for so many very good reasons, but coming out so you can publicly support people like you in a difficult time and place? It's the mark of an individual whose empathy is to be admired and respected.
Welcome to your outing, Wentworth...
...Wish you were here.
