Gossip monger/Flaming Queen, Perez Hilton is calling for a boycott of the television hit “Grey’s Anatomy and the show’s advertisers.

The call comes one day after ABC made discouraging remarks about star Isaish Washington’s use of the word “faggot,” resulting in an apology for I.W hours later.

P.H had this to say:

“Washington can backpedal all he wants. He’s going to say whatever he can to not be fired, but unfortunately he did not mention in his statement that costars T.R. Knight and Katherine Heigl have both called him a liar publicly this week.

And this public apology is not enough. We’ll say it again: if it were Patrick Dempsey and his comments had been racially charged, he would have been fired! ABC should not treat Washington’s hatred any differently.

He has created a hostile work environment on the set of Grey’s Anatomy and he has disrespected millions of gay men and women, their families and straight allies everywhere.

He needs to be fired. Now! Our boycott of ABC and its advertisers remains. We ask you - if you agree with us - to do the same.”

(Insert chuckle here) What exactly does Isaiah Washington’s race have to do with him being a bigoted asshole? It’s truly rich when “White folks” compare every form of discrimination to racial inequality. And they complain about “minorities” playing the race card.
