The Hollywood Reporter has restored Ray Richmond’s column and post about Merv Griffin as a gay man. FBLA has learned switchboards and in-boxes have been jammed by callers and readers supporting Richmond.

Netizens react:

Perez Hilton: powerful words.
Kevin Allman notes that the comments are gone.

LAObserved says Elizabeth Gulder ordered the deletion.

Greg Hernandez tells THR to stand up and be counted.
