Homophobic Prick, Tracy MorganIn a shockingly vicious homophobic rant, comedian Tracy Morgan, star of 30 Rock, went off on an extended tirade during his standup routine in Nashville on June 3rd. The SNL alumnus felt the need to stray from his regular material to tell his audience just how big an asshole he really is.Kevin Rogers, who was in the audience, posted this eyewitness account on his FaceBook page:
I have very thick skin when it comes to humor; I can dish and I can take. What I can't take is when Mr. Morgan took it upon himself to mention about how he feels all this gay shit was crazy and that women are a gift from God and that "Born this Way" is bullshit, gay is a choice, and the reason he knows this is exactly because "God don't make no mistakes" (referring to God not making someone gay cause that would be a mistake). He said that 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 fucking man. He took time to visit the bullshit of this bullying stuff and informed us that the gays needed to quit being pussies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying. He mentioned that gay was something kids learn from the media and programming, and that bullied kids should just bust some ass and beat those other little fuckers that bully them, not whine about it. He said if his son that was gay he better come home and talk to him like a man and not [he mimicked a gay, high pitched voice] or he would pull out a knife and stab that little N (one word I refuse to use) to death. He mentioned that Barack Obama needed to man up and quit being all down with this just because he has a wife and two daughters. All of this being followed by thunderous cheer and "You go Tracys". Tracy then said he didn't fucking care if he pissed off some gays, because if they can take a fucking dick up their ass... they can take a fucking joke.A joke? Really? 30 Rock creator Tina Fey and costar Alec Baldwin have long supported the LGBT community. So far there has been no comment from Fey, Baldwin or anyone else from NBC.
The news of Morgan's bigoted rant has sent shock waves through the LGBT blogosphere. Wayne Besen, of Truth Wins Out, had this to say, "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. Reports of Morgan’s homophobia onstage have circulated for years, though if the Nashville reports are true, it would seem that his hatred has reached a new level. Was Fey aware of this alleged “comedy” in Morgan’s show? Regardless, we would ask that she forthrightly condemn any sort of anti-gay hatred coming from one of her 30 Rock stars."
Besen has called on Morgan to issue and apology. Good luck with that one. Stick a fork in your career, Tracy. You're done!
