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.

Miller, while it had been speculated in the tabloid press that he was gay, he had not publicly spoken about his sexual orientation until the letter was published Tuesday 08/20/13

I was speechless for hours *trying to recover*  and all I have to say is that

He had a big skeleton in his closet and he couldn't stand the fact that nobody was pay any attention to him anymore so... 

good for him bad day for us ladies.
