As most of you know by now, Isaiah Washington's on-set spat with "Grey's Anatomy" co-star Patrick Dempsey escalated when Washington refered to one of their co-stars as Dempsey's "little faggot." It soon became known that he was refering to T.R. Knight who in response, calmly released a statement acknowledging the speculation and stating that he is gay.
Washington had released a statement apologizing for his actions but pulled out of a scheduled interview with Ellen DeGeneres. But when Oprah Winfrey made a visit to the set of "Grey's Anatomy" recently, Washington opened up about the spat.

He tells Oprah: "It was a combination of fatigue, pride, passion... I've been working with these beautiful men for three years now and we had an argument as brothers. It came about at a time and a place that was overwhelming for both of us and we resolved it easily. What it was not was a brawl, fisticuffs and all that stuff. I lost my cool... It was coming out of a place of trying to stay focused about the work and the one thing I understand about myself and my passion about everything I do is that the opposite of love is indifference... Out of that caring, we got ourselves into a debate that had to happen."

OK, so the debate had to happen. But did you HAVE to refer to your gay co-star as a "faggot"? I'm still not satisfied on this one.
