Isaiah Washington has at least one fan in the gay community.

Gay activist Jasmyne Cannick has started a campaign to get Washington back on Grey’s Anatomy- and she already has 1,233 signatures of support.

The petition states that Washington’s firing "further adds to a disturbing new trend at ABC wherein minority actors have been dismissed at an alarming rate over the past two years. While we don’t approve of (Washington’s) use of the F-word at the Golden Globes, Washington has since apologized and gone on to perform community service by way of a public service announcement for the very organizations that have been orchestrating his dismissal. But it seems it wasn’t enough."

She tells the New York Post, "Isaiah has done more for the gay and lesbian community than T.R. Knight did in or out of the closet. He did what they asked him to do, and now they want to make sure he will never work again. At what point is enough?"

A spokesperson for the Washington says, "We appreciate Cannick’s support."
