(Grey's Anatomy star) Isaiah Washington Seeks Help After Alleged (Gay) Slur

(AP) LOS ANGELES -- Isaiah Washington does the healing as a doctor on "Grey's Anatomy." But he's the patient now, in therapy for his use of an anti-gay slur against a castmate.

In a statement Wednesday, Washington said he has begun counseling in what he describes as a "necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again."

Washington took a break from filming Wednesday to meet with gay rights activists.

Series creator and executive producer Shonda Rhimes issued her own statement, at once criticizing Washington for calling co-star T.R. Knight a gay and lauding Washington's decision to seek help.

For the liberal wing of FR, this is what Ann Coulter was referring to. She implied that if she would have called Edwards a "faggot", she would have had to go to rehab.

For what?! He didn't do anything wrong. I wonder how long before being a conservative will cause you to be forced into some kind of rehab.

Isaiah Washington has a date an appointment at the Ministry of Love and he can't be late for his brainwashing.

BTW, here's a usage note from the online dictionary:

In addition to its original and continuing senses of “merry, lively” and “bright or showy,” gay has had various senses dealing with sexual conduct since the 17th century.

A gay woman was a prostitute, a gay man a womanizer, a gay house a brothel.

This sexual world included homosexuals too, and gay as an adjective meaning “homosexual” goes back at least to the early 1900s.

After World War II, as social attitudes toward sexuality began to change, gay was applied openly by homosexuals to themselves, first as an adjective and later as a noun.

Today, the noun often designates only a male homosexual: gays and lesbians.

The word has ceased to be slang and is not used disparagingly.

Homosexual as a noun is sometimes used only in reference to a male.

Grey's Anatomy is a medical soap opera where all the doctors except one have sex with each other. Isaiah Washington made the mistake of calling a gay cast member something other than a "sacred packer of thrice righteous fudge" and has to go to rehab (The Ministry of Love) to cure him of his anti-homosexual urges.

One of the actors came out recently, and another made a disparaging remark about him. The gay actor's character is not gay.

[Washington said he has begun counseling in what he describes as a "necessary step toward understanding why I did what I did and making sure it never happens again."]

I'll save him a couple thousaND dollars- He did it because he freaking felt like it, and because just for a second, he showed some cahones and forgot all about his sissification brought on by political correctness.
