Dr. Burke’s In Trouble Again

January 17th, 2007 · No Comments · Tagged as Grey's Anatomy · Popular Culture

The Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation wants an apology from Grey’s Anatomy star, Isaiah Washington.

The incident steams from I.W’s Golden Globe royal mistake in calling Grey’s co-star, T.R Kelly a “faggot” during a post-awards show press conference.

“When Isaiah Washington uses this kind of anti-gay slur - whether on set or in front of the press - it does more than create a hostile environment for his castmates and the crew of ‘Grey’s Anatomy.’ It also feeds a climate of hatred and intolerance that contributes to putting our community in harm’s way. Washington’s repeated use of it on-set and in the media is simply inexcusable,” GLADD said in a statement to TMZ.

T.R made a visit to the Ellen DeGeneres Show today, confirming that Isaiah used the slur on set back in early Oct-forcing him out of a dark corner in the closet. T.R, perhaps best known as O’Malley,is in fact gay.
