Well, well, well look at what we have here, it looks as though our former “hustle man,” Tracy Morgan, is really a homo-phobe. According to TMZ, Morgan went under fire after going on a gay rant during a show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tenn. last week. Morgan reportedly began firing off about how:
“Gays need to quit being p*ssies and stop whining about something as insignificant as bullying.”
Morgan then went on to say:
“Gay is something kids learn from the media and programming.” In regards to his son ever possibly being gay Tracy added that he’d, “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**ger to death.” But he didn’t stop there, to add insult to injury he added, “I don’t f*cking care if I piss off some gays, because if they can take a f*cking d*ck up their a*s, they can take a f*cking joke.”
Morgan has fired off in the past referring to homosexuality as a “choice.” While I understand that we all have opposing views in regards to the LGBT community, I was always told that there is a time and place for everything. Personally, this was simply not the time nor place and some personal views need to kept to themselves.
Celebs put their feet in their mouths and piss people off. It’s a vicious cycle that always ends in a PR apolology to help smooth things over. Enter Tracy Morgan, who released a statement of apology:
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.
