T.R. Knight, who plays George on the hit TV show Grey’s Anatomy, revealed to PEOPLE magazine that he is in fact gay.

PEOPLE released a statement from Knight today that said, “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.”

The much hyped fight on set between Isaiah Washington and Patrick Dempsey might have caused Knight to publically announce his sexuality.

But the National Enquirer may have tipped us off to the story when they reported that during the fight between Washington and Dempsey, Washington yelled, “I’m not your little faggot like (name deleted).”

The Enquirer said they withheld the name of the co-star Washington mentioned “because of the extreme nature of the slur.”
