Yeah. He came off as a complete jerk. But I still don't want him to leave the show because of this. IMHO, no matter how tastefully or brilliantly the story goes, it just wouldn't feel right to me. Everything would end on a bad note, and the show wouldn't really be the same. I'm not gonna defend him for being a homophobic ass, but truth is, I know more than a few homophobic people. It's not that uncommon. We can't really seek to change their opinion, but can only hope that they keep it to themselves. Hopefully IW has learnt his lesson in this aspect.

And yes, I agree the GA publicity screwed up with this one. IW should just admit it and apologize and we can all move on. We all know he so obviously did it. But now that wouldn't be possible, with the deep hole he had dug himself. Hm.
