Is Isaiah Washington worth it?

Here's the thing that I don't understand: We allow people to bully us. Why can't we stop allowing ourselves to be bullied. Why can't T.R Knight do something when he is attacked. Why didn't we, homos, queers alike, defend him like we did for American Idol by helping to raise some $70 million dollars...and counting?

According to a report on www.edgenewyork.com recently, 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.

Is that our punishment? Or it that our endorsement?

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.
