Forgive me TV: Washington apology to air tonight
Tonight during "Grey's Anatomy," the GLAAD/GLSEN Public Service Announcement that actor Isaiah Washington shot as part of his make-good endeavors to the gay community will debut. While a video is not yet available, the script is said to read:
“Words have power. The power to express love, happiness and joy. They also have the power to heal. When you use words that demean a person because of their sexual orientation, race or gender, you send a message of hate. A very powerful message. But we all have the power to demand better from one another and from ourselves. We have the power to heal and change the world by the words we use.”
Nice sentiment. Here's hoping that those who most need to hear it will not be empowered to get up and change the channel.
**UPDATE: TMZ has the video
