KEY POINTS:
Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington, under fire for using a gay slur about a co-star, met gay rights activists who said he agreed to help educate the public about the cruelty of such language.
"He seemed very sincere in his interest in working with us in an ongoing basis," said Kevin Jennings, executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.
Washington used the term "faggot" about castmate T.R. Knight during an on-set argument. Washington apologised after he was criticised by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (Glaad).
Grey's Anatomy leads nominees for this year's Glaad Media Awards, recognising "fair, accurate and inclusive representations" of gays and lesbians."
