Grey’s Washington in Gay Rights Ad
Grey’s Washington in Gay Rights Ad - Time
(NEW YORK) — Isaiah Washington, who came under fire after using an anti-gay slur, will appear in a public service announcement on behalf of the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network.
I’m going to have to call BS. Once a jerkhole, always a jerkhole, and I’m sure I’m not the only one thinking of Mel Gibson. I wouldn’t be surprised if this was even compulsory in order to avoid some more punitive action. ‘Seeking counseling’, my arse; counseling doesn’t really cure someone of being a jerk, and frankly I don’t see how his appearances in PSAs are going to do us or anyone else much good.
I’d say that I suppose it’s a good thing that I never watched Grey’s anyway, but I’m going to be shamefully honest: If that had been Hugh Laurie instead of Isaiah Washington, it wouldn’t stop me from watching House. Then again, Hugh Laurie has those eyes…Isaiah Washington has…has…
…well, nothin’ that appeals to me. No, I’m not being shallow and I’m not just saying that because I think he’s a homophobic twit. He’s just not my type. I’m sure someone out there finds him attractive, but I’d take Will Smith over him any day.
’scuse me if I’m being catty. I’m still a little ticked off that someone thought it was cute to sign me up for repeated bombardments of the Reverend Lou Sheldon’s newsletter; even after unsubscribing I’m constantly receiving e-mails urging me to protect my religious freedoms by contacting my Congressman and asking them to vote no on HR 1592. Because, of course, the entire bill is just a sleazy, sick part of the ‘gay agenda’ designed for the sole purpose of preventing ministers from exercising their crucial right to read out of the Bible about homosexuality and its evils. We dirty, dirty gays are sneaky like that.
Sure. Yeah. Tell me another one. Like that pile of horse pocky about ‘the liberal media’ as a conscious singular entity whose every act is a conspiracy to defame and thwart the conservative right.
…if I ever find out who put me on that mailing list…

It might not help, but think of the emails as your little way of keeping an eye on the Christian Stupid (not to be confused with the Christian Right, Left, or Middle). One of my friends actually subscribed to them (I think it was a mailing list connected to the AFA?) on purpose.
