PrisonBreakstarslamsRussia's'anti-gay'bill

美剧《越狱》男主角文特沃斯•米勒日前在同性恋者反诋毁联盟网站上发表公开

信，拒绝了俄罗斯圣彼得堡国际电影节官方邀请，同时承认了自己的同性恋身份，

正式出柜。米勒在信中表示“作为一名同性恋者，我必须拒绝这个邀请”。41

岁的米勒说：“我对俄罗斯政府目前对待男女同性恋者的态度深表忧虑，同性恋

者在俄罗斯的境遇是完全无法接受的。我没有办法到一个全面剥夺我们这类人生

活和公开相爱权利的国家参加庆祝活动。”今年6月，俄罗斯议会通过一项法

案，规定对组织同性恋游行或者为18岁以下人群提供同性恋相关信息的人处以

高额罚金。1993年同性恋在俄罗斯合法化，但是民众反同的情绪却依旧高涨。

俄罗斯的保守态度受到了西方政客和民间团体的抨击，同性恋组织曾发起活动抵

制明年二月在索契举办的2014冬季奥运会。米勒的母亲为俄罗斯血统，在此之

前，一直有媒体猜测他的性取向问题。
