T.R. Knight spoke at the GLAAD Media Awards this past Saturday, bringing a serious note to the event. The subject of his speech centered around the murder of teens Lawrence King and Sammie Williams Jr., both of whom were killed allegedly for being gay. Knight also discussed the subject of Oklahoma state representative Sally Kern, whose homophobic views have been the subject of much criticism. Sally Kern compared gays to terrorists and blamed the “homosexual agenda” for “destroying this nation.”
“I am realizing more and more how privileged I am to be able to use my voice to support an organization like GLAAD,” Knight said. “I will continue to do so until the Sally Kerns are taught the real teachings of Jesus Christ.”
Last month, T.R. Knight, alongside others like Portia de Rossi and Janet Jackson, filmed a PSA for the Logo Channel in an effort to promote tolerance. You can watch it here, if you hadn’t yet seen it.

OK OK T.R. I’ll say it this one time and hopefully allay the thoughts of our many and say that I am happy for you and your boyfriend. You and I are essentially the same age I’ll tell you that I am not jealous, and I fully support your relationship! Yes, I still have an unqualified MANCRUSH on you, but I am real too. I am not delusional as others may try to say to you… just accept things for being the way they are supposed to be right now, and out of the million (ha ha) e-mails you get everyday, a nice guy in Kansas City thinks you’re neat, cute, have a fantastic smile, a rumored to be fantastic boyfriend, and oh so much more. Suffice it to say I have been following your body of work and think that you are a great actor!
I’ll keep some neon blonde hair color anbd purple sparkley nail polish at home incase it’s needed HA! Yeah right, you’ll have to lock it up, I’ll be in the hair and nail color before I even get it home! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Yes I am a man, but I’m also real to my roots!
