NEW YORK — Four actors from “Grey’s Anatomy,” the ABC hit where Isaiah Washington was fired for anti-gay slurs, are featured in a new ad campaign preaching tolerance for gays and lesbians.
The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation on Tuesday released 25 new public service ads that it will encourage TV networks to air. The ads feature celebrities talking about either the power of anti-gay words or the importance of accepting a gay or lesbian family member.
T.R. Knight, Sara Ramirez and Kate Walsh of “Grey’s Anatomy” all made ads. Alexandra Billings, a transgender actress who appeared in one episode of the medical drama, also participated.
