Stars from severeal ABC shows teamed up for an all-star Public Service Announcement for GLAAD.org in honor of National Coming Out Day. These stars include Sara Ramirez and T.R. Knight from Grey’s Anatomy, Kate Walsh from Private Practice, Ana Ortiz, Michael Urie, Rebecca Romijn, Eric Mabius, and Becki Newton from Ugly Betty, and Rachel Griffiths from Brothers & Sisters.
Their message is the following:
“Words can be a powerful weapon. So please, choose them carefully because what you say matters. When you tell a homophobic joker or use an anti-gay slurs, you’re spreading prejudice. And you can be hurting someone who close to you without even realizing it. These words send a message that it’s ok to hate and to discriminate. You have a power to make a difference just by treating people with dignity and respect. Choose to be an ally and a friend.”
