T.R. Knight Outs the Haters

Posted May 11th 2007 12:03PM by TMZ Staff

TR Knight "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight reveals that not everyone was pleased with his decision to come out. Paging Isaiah Washington!

In a new interview in The Advocate, reports People magazine, Knight recounts how many friends were "beautifully supportive," while others warned him not to come out. Haters! "Don't do it now," they advised, afraid it might jeopardize his career. But, says Knight, "I could have not [spoken up]. I could have retreated. But I'm definitely happy I made the decision."

Knight was moved to publicly come out after fellow castmate Isaiah "McMeany" Washington was caught making homophobic slurs on set. Lovely. Washington has since attended gay-slur "rehab" for his comments, and relations on the set seem to have simmered down. Can you say ABC gag order?!

Knight first came out to People last October, saying "I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."

16. Many people care about him since we're big fans.

If you meant "who cares" that he's gay. I don't. Think he's great!

18. I loved his character the last two seasons but this year not so much. He seems to be whiny and mopey all the time. If he is glad he came out why is he leaving the show (per spoilers)

20. I think TR has incredible chemistry with Katherine Heigle. Now that's acting. George is that bumbling cute guy that actually gets to finish first. what's wrong with that!

22. Gays will always be regarded as second class citizens by much of the world.They were born defected.I don't hate them but I truly believe they are defected.I even have a few gay friends & I'll you they are easy to use because I think they are insecure & tend to have lose morals.I have let a couple give me head ( hey! A mouth is a mouth! ) but I would never return the favor & they are cool with that.Having gay friends is cool because its super easy to get a BJ & sometimes a BJ really hits the spot!

23. From kissing him?I would be scared to french kiss him or any gay person.

I do the same with my queer friends.I just lay back & let em work me good!I like that they swallow & are thankful after servicing me!I like watching some porn while I get sucked by them & pretend its a hot chick.I agree 100% a mouth is a mouth as long as you don't touch em you are not gay,IMO.
