Another Isaiah Washington PR Move
May 03, 2007
GLAAD and the Gay, Lesbian & Straight Education Network have a new spokesman. No, it’s not Tim Hardaway. It’s Isaiah Washington. Wait, what? Yes … says here that it’s Isaiah Washington. We guess America needs to hear from a homophobe about homophobia.
Washington ran into trouble at the "Golden Globe Awards" in January after he used an anti-gay slur during a backstage press conference while denying he'd used it previously against "Grey's Anatomy" castmate T.R. Knight.
People magazine reported last October that Washington had allegedly used the slur during an on-set dustup with co-star Patrick Dempsey.
After being criticized by GLAAD, a gay and lesbian advocacy group, and the ABC network, Washington issued an apology and sought counseling.
The actor’s publicist Howard Bragman said ABC, which is owned by The Walt Disney Co., was planning to shoot the ad in the next few weeks and that, “We’re gonna have_I want to say at least two versions of it at this point. We may broaden our message a little.”
So first we got the apology, then a stint in rehab, and now a full-blown PSA. These must be the first three steps to Gay acceptance. I believe step four is “unapologetic relapse” and five is “fade away into obscurity.” We’re all very excited for step five.
