Wentworth Miller Came Out...and is Protesting Russia's Gay Ban

To ALL the people who didn't believe me years ago when Prison Break was on - HA!

I have great gaydar. Deal with it.

If you've been living under a rock, you may not know that Russia thinks it's acceptable to ban homosexuals (super basic way of explaining it, but I like it). This has caused many an uproar (best sentence ever) because the winter olympics are supposed to be there in February 2014 and gay athletes feel discriminated against.

As it turns out, Wentworth Miller was also invited to an event in Russia and wrote the following to decline his invitation:

"As a gay man … 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. … If circumstances improve, I'll be free to make a different choice." 
It really bothers me how many people live in fear of revealing their sexual preferences. It should not be anyone else's business who we love.

Good for Wentworth.

Also, good for me, because my gaydar has been proven accurate once more.
