Wentworth Miller confirms he is gay

By Tribute News on August 22, 2013 | 3 Comments

Wentworth Miller has revealed he is gay. The Prison Break star, 41, took a stand against Russia's recent anti-LGBT (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender) legislation on Wednesday by refusing to attend the St. Petersburg International Film Festival and opened up about his sexuality for the first time. In a letter to the festival's organizers, that was also posted on gay rights organization GLAAD's website, the British-born actor said he could not "in good conscience" attend the event because of the country's stance. The actor wrote: "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."

   My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.

   I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
   But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using Movable-type on a number of websites for about a year and am concerned about
   switching to another platform. I have heard good things about
   blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my wordpress content into it?
   Any help would be really appreciated!
