If you’re not familiar with Miller, before ‘Prison Break’, we’ve seen him as our favorite villain and Barry Allen’s frenemy Captain Cold in CW’s “The Flash.” In August 2013, he revealed that he’s gay after declining an invitation to attend the Saint Petersburg International Film Festival because, he said, he didn’t like how the Russian government treated its gay citizens.
In his letter posted on Glaad’s website, Miller said, “(A)s 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.”
It seems that Miller has been advocating equal rights from the moment he came out in public. Let’s hope that other LGBTQ+ personalities would take note and help mold a more nurturing and accepting world with their voice.
