Stop us if you think you've heard this one before: A Grey's Anatomy star, embroiled in a behind-the-scenes controversy that simply refuses—despite the best efforts of millions across the globe, holding aloft bottles of Coke and singing about TV-doctor harmony—to die, has taped an important message about tolerance for GLAAD. Only this time, it's not Isaiah "Bigger Than Jesus and Barack" Washington doing the talking, but his velvety nemesis, T.R. Knight.

Unlike Washington, however, we doubt the cuddly outtee (how far he's come from the "hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me" days) had any motive outside of encouraging others to do as he did on National Coming Out Day. (No—you didn't miss it. It's October 11th: Pretend to look surprised!)
