Tracy Morgan Goes on a Homophobic Rant


At a his comedy show in Nashville Tracey Morgan said he would stab his son to death if he was gay...

From The Washington Post
“30 Rock” actor Tracy Morgan has been accused of making anti-gay comments at a recent comedy show in Nashville.

Kevin Rogers, who said he attended the comedian’s June 3 show at Ryman Auditorium, detailed the alleged statements in a Facebook note, “Why I No Longer ‘Like’ Tracy Morgan.” Rogers claims that Morgan said being gay is a choice because “God don’t make no mistakes” and that lesbians are “just pretending.”

He also alleges that Morgan said if his son was gay, his child would have to “talk to him like a man,” not a homosexual, or he would stab him to death. Rogers said 10 to 15 people walked out of the show.

Tracy has since apologized.
“I want to apologize to my fans and the gay & lesbian community for my choice of words at my recent stand-up act in Nashville. I’m not a hateful person and don’t condone any kind of violence against others. While I am an equal opportunity jokester, and my friends know what is in my heart, even in a comedy club this clearly went too far and was not funny in any context.”
