Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight is happy with his decision to come out as gay, despite being warned it was a 'bad idea.'
Knight revealed the truth about his sexuality last year following an incident with castmate Isaiah Washington, who is said to have called the 34-year-old an anti-gay slur during an on-set argument with costar Patrick Dempsey.
Knight tells gay magazine The Advocate, "I remember saying to someone when I got one of those 'don't do it' (comments)--I just remember hearing my voice being calm and saying, 'No, it's going happen. It's going to happen. I'm just letting you know.'
"I made the decision to make a statement. I could have not (spoken up). I could have retreated. But I'm definitely happy I made the decision."
