米勒在寫給電影節(jié)主席瑪利亞·阿維爾巴赫的信中這樣寫道:“以前我多次造訪過俄羅斯,我甚至可以說自己還有部分俄羅斯血統(tǒng),這樣的淵源我其實(shí)很樂意答應(yīng)前往,但因?yàn)槲沂且幻詰?,我必須拒絕?!?

"I am deeply troubled by the current attitude toward and treatment of gay men and women by the Russian government," he writes. "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."
他這樣寫道:“俄羅斯政府近日的反同性戀人群的態(tài)度讓我非常困擾,這樣現(xiàn)狀我絕對無法接受,我無法違背良心參加由這樣一個國家舉辦的慶祝活動,因?yàn)樵谶@個國家里,像我這樣的同性戀,他們生存和公開示愛的基本權(quán)利被法律剝奪了?!?
