Isaiah Washington Supports Gay Marriage - For Reals!

Filed under: Gay Gay Gay > Isaiah Washington

isaiahwashington.jpg

Looks like "F" bomb dropper Isaiah Washington is working hard to rehab his image in the gay community.

Washington just made a big donation to the Equality California fund that's working to stop the anti-marriage amendment on the November California ballot.

The former Grey's Anatomy star's famous publicist, Howard Bragman, married his same-sex partner this week. And, in lieu of gifts, Bragman asked his friends and clients to donate to the fund.

The publicist said, “Chuck and I were very touched by his [Isaiah's] generosity and his support of this cause, and we expect many other high-profile contributions. He said wishes us all the best and he supports the rights of others in our community to get married.”

Washington has taken a baby step in the right direction.

Is he trying to buy our affection????

    What a Catch 22, he is criticized if he donates (as "trying to buy affection") and he'd also be criticized if he didn't

    i totally see it as trying to better his image. however, i think we should just all move on. i'm gay and i'm even over it. it was a horrible thing that he said but it's not like he got us into a war or is killing babies. i personally don't like him but he shouldn't continue to catch crap for that situation.

    no he is not trying to buy you love. The whole grey's thing was a heat of the moment type of thing that was blown up to further the careers of others. that not an excuse as he played into the bull. however, one never gives up the hard earned cash unless one stands behind the reasons for doing so.

    Grey's Anatomy sucks anyways. Who watches that crappy show? What happened to free speach in this country? Why is it that only black people and gays have the right to speak their minds? I'm over it.

    Isaiah knows he made a mistake and has been trying to amend it. Obviously, his publist doesn't think he's a homophobe, or he wouldn't be working for him. He has taken more than babysteps to fix his mistake.

    He seriously needs to return to Grey's Anatomy!!! That show is getting boring. Well….except for Mcdreamy and Merideth getting back together which was sooooo romantic. Christina needs a new love interest.

    I think Washington was doing it out of the kindess of his heart…… and to perhaps change his image a tad bit

    That money could have gone to something much more important, like i don't know… those bi-daily "Worthy Cause" donations you post? You are a fucking scumbag, I don't believe in karma. However, I do believe not only will people get tired of this site, but if you stay in LA, you will get fucking MURDERED! You are like a gay version of Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson inc. - all you want is reparations. You are richer than 95% of us (the readers) and you are implying that people have to pay money for saying the word fag? And you aren't happy because it's not enough money? Or if he gave no money then he's a gay-basher? STOP USING HOMOSEXUALITY AS A WEAPON TO SHIELD YOURSELF FROM BEING INSULTED. PEOPLE HAVE A RIGHT TO DISLIKE HOMOSEXUALS. I don't ever see you talkin about how we should stop hating on Muslims, in fact, you condone it! Despite this "cruel society that hates gays" in America, you, a homosexual, got rich by flaunting your homosexuality! HYPOCRIT

    I feel a bit bad for the guy. Just because he used that word doesn't mean he hates gay people. Granted it isn't a nice word but come on give him a break. He has tried his hardest to come back from it so maybe he is being genuine.

    Marriage= 1 Man + 1 Woman
    If you are gay and you want to commit to each other fine– but it is NOT MARRIAGE.

    He doesn't have to buy anything from that loser. That guy lied on Isaiah Washington, not about what he said but who he said it too. I agree, he shouldn't have used the word, but when he did way it, he wasn't talking to someone who is gay. Isaiah should tell that guy to kiss his A$$, I would.

    Re: MiNo keRe: Joce
    You are right the show is boring, but it's boring even with McDreamy and by the way, that's who Isaiah W. was talking to because he was late for work, he wasn't talking to TL Knighton or whatever his name he. He is a F for lying. Greys has lost a lot of viewer because Isaiah character was a hugh part of what made the show worth watching.

  46. Misha says – reply to this
    46

    Umm, no. I don't think he gives a flying fuck what YOU think Perez. He is supporting his friend. Get over it already. A lot of people use that word in private, doesn't mean it's right, but it happens.

  47. ROCC says – reply to this

    I HONESTLY DON'T THINK ISIAH HATES GAYS. YES, HE DID USE A SLUR WHICH IS OFFENSIVE TO MANY IN THE GAY COMMUNITY WORLD WIDE. HE'S A HOLLYWOOD ACTOR…HOLLYWOOD. THIS IS AN INDUSTRY THAT HAS BEEN A FRIEND TO THE GAY COMMUNITY FOR DECADES. AS ACTOR OR ACTRESS IF YOU DO INTEND TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS INDUSTRY YOU BEST GET OVER YOUR HOMOPHOBE. REMEMBER, HE WAS IN A "PHYSICAL" ALTERCATION WITH PATRICK DEMPSY. TEMPERS RAN HIGH THAT DAY AND HE SAID AND SINCE THEN HE'S APOLOGIZE. LETS MOVE ON AND MAKE PEACE. AND WHAT IS UP WITH THAT PERV T.R. KNIGHT DATING AN 18 YEAR OLD??????????? WHAT THESE TWO HAVE IN COMMON BESIDES THE FACT THAT T.R. IS DATING A TEENAGER! WHAT A PERV!

    I thought his issues were more about anger management than truly feeling anti-gay in his sentiment. I mean he went to therapy, what kind of therapy did he go to, "Gay tolerance therapy?" I wish IW was back at Grey's, Burke and Christina were my favorite couple on the show. I stopped watching after Christina and Burke ended.

  53. 53

    Too late for damage control.
    Money doesn't make up for prejudice, (although somebody ought to tell blacks that, they are perfectly comfortable with money in exchange for prejudice/restitution).
    As in wanting financial restitution for slavery. An absurd notion.
    Money does not buy class, forgiveness, repentance, or any other matter of the heart.
    Smiling idiot shithead.

    Hey "Advocate" If you truely want to get rid of ignorance perhaps you might want to start with yourself. If you talk to the avarage "black" (as you put it) they are not waiting around for reparatations. They make there own money.
    And Perez talk about double standards. When white celebs use the n word there is no firing just two weeks of fanfare. you kiss Paris Hilton's ass and she used the n word. But do these celebs have to buy affection?

  56. SNAP! says – reply to this
    56

    God being tolerant is one thing but really you dont have to like everybody, I mean he obviously has issues with the gay community and that's alright that's his opinion, but he doesn't have to support something that he obviously doesn't believe in to gain respect, I would respect him more if he was just honest.

    I do, but not everyone has to support gay people. People have a right to their opinions and beliefs so no, it is not a step in the right direction if it is not what he believes in. If he is doing it to 'improve' his image, then at least he is doing something; he doesn't have to do anything (whether he working good jobs or not, he IS working). Perez, you really need to give people a break when they try. I mean, you do seem to be supporting Paris Hilton who is racist as f$#k. So uh, move on and stop being selective because then, you seem like him, don't you think?

    I think you forget that he played a gay men in Get on the Bus way before the TR thing….so I highly doubt its to repair his image

    I'm glad that Isaiah is becoming more open minded to homosexuals. I don't think he is doing it to better his image or get a decent job. I think he is really realizing that gays are people too and that they should be able to live their lives just like heterosexual people do. Good for him! (Now Shonda Rhimes, please hire Isaiah back! Your show Grey's is in the dumps without him and Kate Walsh!)!!!!
