Tracy Morgan’s Homophobic Jokes in Nashville - Tracy Morgan is no stranger to controversy, being a comedian it kind of comes with the territory, but he's found himself in hotter water than usual after a recent show.
Last Friday during a performance at The Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Morgan's jokes turned more into a rant against homosexuality. Some of the brow-raising comments made on stage are as follows:
· "Gays need to quit being p****** and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying.''
· "Gay is something that kids learn from the media and programming."
· ''My son better talk to me like a man and not in a gay voice or I'll pull out a knife and stab that little n-gga to death."
· "I don't "f*cking care if I p*** off some gays, because if they can take a f*cking d*** up their ass... they can take a f*cking joke."
· "There is no way a woman could love and have sexual desire for another woman, that's just a woman pretending because she hates a f-cking man."
Responding to the Morgan’s joke Gay rights groups are up in arms over the allegations against Morgan. Evan Hurst, director of social media for Truth Wins Out, a gay advocacy group, demanded Morgan respond to the allegations. "If Tracy Morgan indeed did say these things, he needs to respond immediately with either an explanation or a contrite apology," he said in a statement. “Tracy Morgan has worked under 30 Rock writer and producer Tina Fey since 2006. Ms. Fey has a long record of supporting LGBT causes, and so we would ask her to respond to these allegations as well.
It's not the first time Morgan has ignited controversy over homphobic material -- back in 2009, a bunch of people reportedly walked out of his show at Carnegie Hall after he said being gay was a "choice."
