Mr. Washington - Are You Fucking Kidding Me?

I have to say a few things about Mr. Isaiah Washington and his recent interview on Larry King. See an excerpt from the article below.

"I said several bad words," he recalled, quoting himself as telling Dempsey: "There's no way you're going to treat me like the B-word, the P-word or the F-word."

He said that the "F-word" was not meant as an anti-gay slur, but implied "somebody who is being weak." Washington also strongly denied he ever directed the word at gay costar T.R. Knight.

"I am not homophobic – in no way, shape or form," said Washington.

Faggot is a word used way too easily in our day in time. Excuse me Mr. Washington, but as a gay man...if in my workplace I heard someone call another person a faggot to imply they were weak...I would be absolutely be offended and consider that a homophobic (as that is the closest word to describe discrimination against GLBT) remark. It was rude, insensitive and highly inappropriate for the workplace and demands consequences. That kind of insensitivity creates an uncomfortable working environment and if he is the cause, then he deserved to be fired for his behavior, plain and simple. I will not even dignify his claims that he was fired because of his race. What a joke!

He also spoke about his friends that were "completely gay". Below is a funny IM conversation my friend Tonya and I were having about that.

[16:41] TonyaNS1975: I am curious about his "completely gay" friends... how is one "completely gay"
[16:41] TonyaNS1975: no cooter finger?
[16:41] TonyaNS1975: what is the criteria
[16:42] tdprestridge: yeah...i don't know how some are partly gay
[16:42] tdprestridge: i'd like to meet these completely gay people and see if I am one of them
[16:42] TonyaNS1975: yes - I hope I haven't gotten the shaft here and only have "sorta gay" friends
[16:42] TonyaNS1975: that will piss me off
[16:43] tdprestridge: for real....after all the time you have invested
[16:43] tdprestridge: what if you got defective gays out of the deal?
[16:43] TonyaNS1975: I will be SO PISSED
[16:43] tdprestridge: is there a test D and I can take?
[16:43] tdprestridge: i'm nervous now
[16:43] TonyaNS1975: We'll have to look into that - I am so confused
[16:44] tdprestridge: jerk
