Even though Wentworth Miller might not actually be ON Twitter, the now openly gay actor was getting a whole lot of love and support from some famous fans and admirers.
Miller came out this week in a letter he penned to the St. Petersburg International Film Festival after they invited him to attend their event. Wentworth respectfully declined their offer due to Russian anti-gay laws that are effecting countless LGBT individuals in that country.
Check out some of the tweets from Ellen DeGeneres, Neil Patrick Harris, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and MORE that came out after Wentworth’s brave move:
I'm proud of Wentworth Miller for speaking out in support of equality. Russia doesn't know what they're missing.
