Jun. 20th, 2007 08:39 amGay/Lesbian activists want ABC to rehire Isaiah Washington.
Now, for those not keeping up. On the set of Grey's Anatomy, there were incidents where Washington was pretty much a prejudiced ass towards openly gay castmate TR Knight, as well as an incident at one of the awards shows where Washington said to a bunch of press people 'I didn't use the word faggot.' or something like that
After slapping him on the wrist and sending him to 'rehab' for a week (where Imus, whose words I do not condone, was fired within days after his screwup), Washington stayed the rest of the season, before he was fired last week. Luckily, the story got buried by Paris' in-and-out with the California Penal system (which, considering it's Paris Hilton, makes that sound all too sexual).
So, as I knew he would, Washington's come back and slowly planting the idea that because he's black, he was fired.
Newsflash, Mr. Washington. You were not fired because of your race. You were fired because you are a fucking bigoted douchebag, so put away that race card and learn that actions have consequences.
The fact that there are those in the gay/lesbian community who support him sickens me. We should be smarter than that. Or at least have a little more self-respect.
