maybe he should be fined or something....don't they fine athletes for doing bad stuff.....
and to say that people would boycott is wrong too......IW is one character....why make the other characters suffer for what he did....i think if he is fired it would not be shondras decision so why make her suffer.

I think it is very sad that IW has said what hes said. In a world that has started to accept alternative life styles this does not help. I have a uncle that is gay and a aunt too. they are the most lovely people that i know. IW needs to get some help and deal with these feelings. as far as greys go i think he should go also....the cast of greys are extreamly talented and to have one that has said and done what IW has is unacceptable... TR my hat is off to you and good luck in allthat you do.. I am behind you 100%...

Hi Bonnie. You are so wise and so right and you just keep trying to get us back to the subject of the show we love and the people who inhabit Seattle Grace. I agree with you so much in my head. Intellectually I know you are right. Then I read this awful hateful nonsense and my heart makes me respond. Faggot. It's a word. We have decided it is beyond horrible. TR has decided that it defines who he is and so if he overhears it he has to announce to the world that he is gay. Therefore by default the person saying the word must be a horrible, hateful human being. My heart goes out to Isaiah that he is being so villified and misunderstood. Some of the comments are just so over the top that I find myself compelled to respond. Even if I did not love Isaiah and love the character of Burke I would feel the need to defend this man who has had to carry all of this hate on his back for a slip of the tongue back in October and trying to correct the situation in January. I'm sorry. I know I am disappointing you because you just want the whole thing to blow over. I do, too. But I can't sit here and read this junk without at least asking them to think about it from the other perspective.

I, for one, do not care one way or the other, whether TR is gay is not a concern of mine. I just want to say that he does a fabulous job on the show and that's all that matters, that he goes to work and performs. The rest is none of my business.
As for his cast member using, what I consider, a cruel word, is sad but it happens. My husband has a word that he would use to IW's face, and it is not nice or acceptable either.
sorry BurkeBacker but i TOTALLY disagree. I mean, TR even said that everyone on set heard what he said. Don't you find it odd that Isaiah Washington is the only one who DENIED that it happened? Katherine Heigl did, and she was FURIOUS. In quote from Golden Globes, "you now what, im gonna be very honest right now, he needs to just not speak in public. period. im sorry, it just did not need to be said. and i am not ok with it. i have no idea what it was, i just, i find it hurtfull. i dont know, i dont know, i feel like this should be something that should be very much in house and i, feel like it should be somthing to deal with. among us and among all of the casting crew, and shondra ofcoarse and our producers and hopfully we can work it out. i dont, you know, i dont... it's just somthing i am flumboxed by, i dont get it. TR's my best friend, so i will throw down for that kid. i will beat you up! i will use any ounce of energy to take you down, if you hurt his feelings."
reporter: was TR hurt this evening?
"umm...i dont see how you cannot be under the sercomstances. drawing attention to it and saying it again was unneccesary." i think that proves my point! hehe

Seems like we have been over this before, O'Mally Girl, and I don't mean to keep repeating myself, but Isaiah did not deny using the term, he denied calling TR the term. TR believes he overheard Isaiah referring to him by the term. Katherine Heigl told Ellen in her original interview right after it happened that she wasn't on the set but heard about it. I heard her after the Golden Globes and you know what, she should not have spoken either. Her words were supportive of Knight but hurtful to Washington and they are both her castmates. It was inappropriate for her to publicly take sides. She can be TRs best buddy, but that wasn't the time for her to say anything at all. I have far more respect for Sandra, Patrick, Chandra, Justin, James, Eric, Katie Walsh, and Sara who managed to get through the whole debacle without adding fuel to the fire. So I am sorry that we disagree and do respect your right to see it differently, but we disagree. From the stand point of the show and the fans of the show there was nothing gained by either Katie Heigl's comments or TRs appearance on Ellen. Let me ask you, if you overheard someone referriing to you as a derogatory name, would you run to the press or would you confront the person doing the name calling and find out why they did it, what they meant by it, what their problem was? Particularly if it was the very first time the person had ever said something like that and if I considered the person to be like family, I would confront them with what I thought I overheard. But I would not be so vindictive as to want people to hate that person and call for his job. That doesn't seem to me to be in the best interest of the show or the fans who love all of the characters and don't want to lose any of them over something that really only impacted me.

Do you not screen these comments? Why would you let people who are hatemongers the right to voice their comments here? Anyone using the F* word is spreading the same low brow attitude that we need to evolve above. It is just admittedly an embarrassment for them to leave those comments but it is also an offense for those with any measurable I.Q. to have to read. Please screen better in the future. Thank you.

I do not understand why "faggot" or "fag" is such a bad word. If you are a homosexual man, then expect to be associated with those words, as well as queer, gay, sissy and other words I know are offensive (so I'm not listing them). It's just a word.

I believe that people make to much of comments like this. I believe people who have specific agenda's look for such comments and blow them up. I am so tired of having to walk on egg shellls to stay "politically correct." I believe if TR had a problem with it he should have confronted Isaiah about it. I am a minority, because I'm a hispanic woman - but I don't cry out UNFAIR everytime someone calls me by names I don't appreciate. I say GROW up and deal with it like a man TR. I believe that this is not about the word, "FAGGOT" it's about some one's political agenda.

As I read all the comments, I have noticed the level of ignorance and uneducated people that actually have the nerve to speak of their opinion as if it is a fact. For those who commented by saying that the "F" is of no importance, how would you like to be called a name that you know it minimizes you as human being, no one does so stop being so hypocrite about it. I'll bet that you are the first ones to complaint about the problems of the world. It takes more energy and effort to be mean to one another than to be kind and respectful.
You know for a fact that if the "N" word is use in any situation, there would be such turmoil. Have we forgotten the incident with Richard from the character of "Kramer", he use the "N" word and you so what happened.
Is it so hard to say the word GAY or is it your own insecurities that make you angry. Those who cannot be themselves attack those who are. This is not rocket science to figure this out and because of people such as some on this site, saying the "F" is not a big deal or that he deserves it (this last one is the icing on the cake) is observe and immoral.
The main point here is that morals and values have been forgotten and place with anger, jealousy, and hatred. A very good example is demonstrated on this site.

Don't quit and don't run. Hold your ground and stay with the show. The show is not about your personal life. I enjoy the show with YOU in it. There is always someone who is not happy with something so if they have a problem you can not run from their problem they (problems and people) are everywhere. You are not flaunting anything or trying to change anyone's life style. You are doing your job. Don't be pushed from here to there to please anyone.

I love how many people are referring to what IW said as a mistake I find that funny. He meant what he said people don't accidently drop the N bomb. He didn't accidently drop the F bomb. People don't make mistakes like that. It's a train of thought: a way of thinking. He may regret saying it out loud but I doubt that he regrets thinking it and honestly his wasy of thinking is what should change. That being said no amount of rehab is going to help him unless he wants to change his whole pattern of thinking and behaving. I hope that he does want to change...to move to tolerance...to move to acceptance.

It's a joke that he had to go to counseling for calling him what he is. How did so many people in the entertainment business and media become gay sypathizers. Lets not glorify a disgusting lifestyle that involves packing fecal matter. Men and women are meant to reproduce together. last time I checked you can't get a child from fudgepacking.

For those idiots who don't think it's not a big deal or offensive to use words like "Faggot" or "Nigger", then for them it shouldn't be a big deal to just call each other words like "Bitches", "Fuckers", "Whores" or "Assholes", cause according to them, that's the truth, it's what everyone is (and their mothers), right?
It is hard to respond to the last two posters. It is never all right to use derrogatory terms directed at anyone else for the purpose of being hurtful. I don't like the use of derrogatory terms at all. But I have to admit I have been called some from time to time and you know what it really didn't hurt me. People have to be strong enough in who they are and proud of what they are so that someone else's slur doesn't impact them. I don't think anyone is saying that calling someone a slur is okay. To me there is a difference in each man's interpretation of what happened. Headlines like the one on this website that says "TR CONFIRMS GAY SLUR" is making an assumption that TR's version of the altercation is the correct one. Confirms is a loaded word. It implies that he is telling the truth. In fact, TR overheard something. He believes Isaiah referred to him as the f-word. Even he did not say Isaiah called him the f-word. I am disaapointed in TR for not just confronting Isaiah about it at least to be sure that he heard correctly before making his public statements. I am also disappointed that the head lines don't say TR has a different version of what happened rather thatn TR confirms slur. Too many hurtful assumptions are being made.

I think it is funny when heterosexuals post comments about fudgepacking and how men are supposed to be with women to reproduce. I have a lot of straight friends(male and female). ALL of my straight guy friends always tell me how they try to get their girls to let them have anal sex. And most of my girl friends love it .Homosexuals aren't the only ones who enjoy anal sex so all these republicans need to stop being hypocrites. We dont all believe in the bible so you might as well save that argument for bible study or sunday school. We dont all want to buy into that ignorant bigotry or the overwhelming arrogance. People who use the word faggot are no better than the people who use the word nigger. You might as well all be considered nazis in the kkk.
As far as Isiah Wash. is concerned, he got exactly what he deserved. He said the word faggot in front of a gay man and got canned. Had the gay man said the word nigger in front of the black man he would have been fired on the spot- even if he had apologized or back peddled. I keep reading all of these posts about how the white man just wanted to get rid of the black man because he's racist. What a bunch of bull shit. THE BLACK man was the prejudice bigot so he got fired. END of story. HE GOT WHAT HE DESERVED and IM GLAD.
