Watch T.R. Knight be the better person - VIDEO

you ought to not fired him

Isaiah Washington committed a tort against T.R. Knight and against Shonda Rimes, in that he committed assault and battery against them. Snatching that mike out of Shonda's hand was a violation of her person. He had no legal right to touch her. Repeating his insult against T.R. was designed to hold him up to ridicule, in front of a world wide audience. Somebody should call Gloria Allred.

Rai,

I can't believe that you believe that if (some) guys call each other "faggot" all the time that somehow makes it ok!!!! Is that the same as (some) guys calling women "ho's" and that being acceptable???

PEOPLE! get a clue! Being gay/lesbian/bi/transgendered is not a choice!! Do you really think that people would choose to be discriminated against? Hated? Choose to be part of a group that is consistantly, repeatedly and in some states, legally discriminated against???? As an out lesbian, I get so pissed off at the closed minds in this forum!

The original incident happened on the set. It should have stayed on the set. I guarantee, this is not the only show to have conflict on the set. The show was already tops in the ratings and needed no attention.

I used to love the show, watched it from day one. I never liked TR's whiny character.

These celebs were all D-list, or unknown. Now they are famous. Shut-up! Why, do people care so much? How come there is no outcry for Lindsey Lohan. She isn't even 21, but it is totally okay for her to publically display her alcholic behavoir.

I think TR is more upset about his family hearing of his lifestyle in the media. As if nobody knew.

His closet door was wide open.

i cant believe how this "genius" has dug his career into a grave so deep, he would need a miracle to survive.
the initial event, albeit reprehensible, was practically forgotten and could have easily been swept under the rug if it were not for his idiotic comments.
everyone is, to some extent, racist and homophobic, its in our nature, its instinctual. what separates the good and the bad, is self control and diplomacy.

yes most black people have a generally more violent disposition, and yes jews are conniving and greedy, whites have a superiority complex, and asians work really really hard.
the muslim religion doesnt make sense, their treatment of women is dispicable. the americans have no culture, whereas the european's culture is highly racist.
etc.. etc.. all this things ARE 100% true, we cant say it out loud people!

YES being gay IS a perversion of nature, its not normal and even though they cant help it, they shouldn't "BE" gay, they shouldnt have anal sex with each other. Just be celebate and chalk it up to bad luck and move on with your life!

so forgive and forget, but in isiah's case, this idiot has no chance!

@ThatEricGuy - Please read what I wrote. I in no way said this should have been ignored. But how long does this need to be dragged out? This incident didn't happen yesterday, last week or even last month. It happened several months ago. LET IT GO.

And for you to actually bring up Rosa Parks name is an insult.

I frankly like my heroes to be straight but thats just my preference ...not that there is anything wrong with gay heroes.

I can't believe that anyone would refer to T.R. Knight as a hero! Are you serious? I truly believe that, as usual, he is being looked at like the character he portrays on Grey's and not as a real person. This whole poor pathetic look that he has on and off the set is soo ridiculous. Just because you're gay, doesn't mean you have to be weak.
He got called a faggot--who cares? Straight guys call each other faggot all the time. Gay guys call each other faggot all the time.
Lets be clear that faggot is NOT the same as nigger. Anyone who thinks that it is needs to brush up on American history.
No one needs to be punished or fired. Everyone just needs to stop believing that these actors are on a higher plain than the rest of us. They say and do stupid things just like everyone else. Get over it and stop trying to be the PC(political correctness)Police.

Good for TR! I believe that he's definitely the bigger person. He didn't ask for all of this mess in the first place; but he's handeled it with grace.

"Clearly, Ellen's coming out had a huge impact on T.R. when he was younger."

Clearly? I say not. It's not like he was openly gay beforehand. He was outed...very publicly. What's the big deal? A good 90% of 'out' people come to the party that way. The other 10% required no introduction.

The funny/ironic part of it all is that Mr. Washington isn't 100% straight.
