Isaiah Washington Apologizes - GLAAD Reacts

GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano today released the following statement after having received a response from Isaiah Washington apologizing for his use of the word "faggot" on the set of Grey's Anatomy in October 2006 and at the 64th Annual Golden Globe® Awards on Jan. 15, 2007:

"We are encouraged by Isaiah Washington's statement today, and optimistic that it may mark a turning point in this deeply troubling situation. His acknowledgement of his actions — and of the hurt and harm his actions have caused — is an important first step toward healing his relationships with his castmates, his fans and the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

"Mr. Washington has scheduled a meeting with us for early next week, and we look forward to exploring opportunities for moving forward together and healing some of the wounds of the past four months."

I'm sorry but I don't like Isaiah Washington at all. Every more so now. His apology is so too late. He's afraid of losing his job on Grey's Anatomy.
