John Mayer’s still catching Holy Hell over his racially insensitive and anti-gay remarks (He’s still yet to apologize for the latter….) during an interview published in the March issue of Playboy Magazine<\/em> last week, but at least one charity organization has spoken out in defense of the embattled singer.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for The Isaac Foundation <\/a>\u2013 an organization which raises support for children with a rare enzyme deficiency known as MPS VI \u2013 is rallying behind Mayer, who they claim has donated his time and efforts to the organization for nearly two years.

But I also know the person that he truly is and the good things he tries to accomplish with the celebrity status he\u2019s achieved,”<\/em> the statement continued in part. “A few minutes ago I asked Isaac to tell me three words he would use to describe John and he responded \u2018Nice, Friendable [sic], and Loveable.\u2019 Print that bloggers, and give John his fair shake.\u201d

I swear I try desperately to control my sometimes passionate views and be the classy young woman my parents raised me to be, but shit like this just keeps dragging me back to the dark side! The fact that he’s nice to sick kids doesn’t earn him a Get Out Of Jail Free Card whenever he flaps his gums out of order.
