Potty-mouthed actor Isaiah Washington currently awaits a call from his agent that will determine whether or not he will continue to show up to the Grey's Anatomy set every day, carrying a warm smile and a box of Sprinkles cupcakes for his co-workers. (It's a small, peacemaking gesture, meant to say, "How could I possibly hate Gays when I come bearing cupcakes—the gayest dessert there is!") In the meantime, you can enjoy what might be your last rendezvous with Dr. Preston Burke as a series regular tonight on the Grey's finale, during which the actor's GLAAD-mandated PSA will run. GLAAD's website offers a preview of the spot, which contains in its call for a choke-free, homoinclusive society the following quote: "When you use words that demean a person because of their sexual orientation, race or gender, you send a message of hate." The spot is truly a master class in "sincerity for the camera," and perhaps the actor's most stirring statement on the matter since a moment of publicist-unassisted damage control inspired him to announce, "I love gay. I wanted to be gay. Please let me be gay!"
