T.R. Knight is not getting married to his boyfriend of less than a year, Mark Cornelson, anytime soon.
Rumours of the couple’s possible nuptials arose soon after the California Supreme Court legalized gay marriage. Before the legalization, however, Knight did not even think of the possibility of getting married.
“It was never an option,” Knight told me last night at a gay marriage celebration in West Hollywood. “You realize more when something like [the Supreme Court decision] happens that you’ve been treated like second-class citizens. But it’s simply a matter of our rights and freedom.”
When asked about his fantasy wedding, Knight says he has nothing special planned.
“I haven’t been planning on it, so I don’t know,” Knight says. “I don’t have one of those books made up. I’m going to have to give that some thought.”
Disgraced actor Isaiah Washington has filed a complaint with the Screen Actors Guild after his picture was used in a recent episode of “Grey’s Anatomy.”
Washington left the show last season after his famed explosion on the set, calling then-closeted co-star T.R. Knight a homophobic slur.
In the show, a newspaper article was shown in the May 9 episode revealing that Washington’s character had received a prestigious award. Unfortunately, it also used a photograph of the actor.
Washington’s attorney claims that ABC has “the rights of the character to advance the story, but not the image.”
Washington is pursuing a financial settlement.
T.R. Knight, who plays Dr. George O’Malley in the hit ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” has officially come out in the media. Knight, 33, told People magazine in a statement on Thursday that he is indeed gay, which has been rumoured for some time.
“I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I’d like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there,” Knight said in the statement. “While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I’m gay isn’t the most interesting part of me.”
Knight’s character on “Grey’s Anatomy” is the love interest of Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo. Before “Grey’s Anatomy,” Knight has also appeared in such show as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”
