After watching the Larry King Live Interview with Isaiah Washington, here is what I believe.
While arguing with Patrick Dempsey about being late, he told Patrick among other things that he would not be treated like a ****** like T.R. Knight was being treated.
He said he was defending T.R. and maybe that was his intention, but he should have done it in another much better way. He was caught in a moment of anger in matters that really didn't concern him all that much where he needed to get so involved so he probably wasn't thinking right, nor clearly enough to think more carefully in his choices of words and he said he does regret it.
I do not think that T.R. Knight should have felt the need or forced to come out about his sexuality because of this incident.
Being called a ****** does not mean that you've just been outed. Isaiah thought of ****** as meaning someone "WEAK" at that moment.
I'm not defending Isaiah. He was completely wrong.
Isaiah probably didn't mean to imply that T.R. was a ****** and for it to come out that way, but it did and T.R. has the right to be mad and he was in fact called a ****** all intentions aside so yeah.
Isaiah made a mistake and should have kept his mouth shut at the Golden Globes which really set his predicament in stone and was the final blow.
