During a recent comedy performance in Nashville, Tracy Morgan allegedly said that:
“If his son was gay he better come home and talk to him like a man and not (mimicked gay, high pitched voice) or he would pull out a knife and stab that little nigger to death”.
He also said that:
“He didn’t fucking care if he pissed off some gays”.
Well gays, GLAAD (Gay Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation), & actors like Tina Fey & Olivia Munn, were pissed off as fuck and demanded an apology from Tracy Morgan, a comedic actor (30 Rock).
Like many “oops I fucked up” actors before him, Tracy apologized & released a statement to GLAAD:
“I’m sorry for what I said. I didn’t mean it. I never want to use my comedy to hurt anyone. My family knew what it was like to feel different. My brother was disabled and I lost my father to AIDS in 1987. My dad wasn’t gay but I also learned about homophobia then because of how people treated people who were sick with that.”

why is it so common for people to attack gays in the media and think it’s fun?! It’s good he apologized later on… But still.
So funny how celebrities say smtg then directly apologize.
I never found him funny, he’s quiet annoying on 30 rock
At least, he apologized and gave an interesting example about discrimination (Y)
