News > IRONY ALERT: Grey's Anatomy Wins Award from Gay and Lesbian Alliance
April 16, 2007
In the most hilariously unexpected news piece of the week, reports that Grey's Anatomy won a GLAAD Media Award for "best individual episode."
This is Grey's Anatomy we're talking about, by the way. Grey's Anatomy, the show whose cast includes Isaiah Washington, a guy who repeatedly and maliciously called homosexual cast member T.R. Knight a "faggot." Then he apologized and said he should have never said it in the first place, then he publicly stated that he never said it at all. Classy guy, that Isaiah.
But anyone, the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation gave Grey's an award for the episode "Where the Boys Are." As someone who has a strict policy against watching TV shows starring Patrick Dempsey, I can't speak for how un-defamation-y the episode was. But if it managed to make the GLAAD committee overlook Washington's painfully homophobic comments, it must have been the most gay-friendly episode ever put on television, ever.
