Fresh Allegations That Tracy Morgan Is Homophobic

By HuffPost Entertainment Editors Posted Jun 10th 2011 10:10AM

UPDATE 12:20PM | Tracy has apologized, saying his routine "clearly went too far and was not funny in any context." Full Story

He's responsible for many a joke on '30 Rock,' but if true, Tracy Morgan's latest standup set is no laughing matter. A man named Kevin Rogers attended Morgan's standup show last Friday and reported on his Facebook page that Morgan let loose a viciously homophobic rant that, as far as he could tell, was a dead serious attack on gay men and women. Rogers, who is gay, wrote:

I figured at some point the gay jokes would fly and I'm well prepared for a good ribbing of straight gay humor. 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 s*it was crazy and that women are a gift from God and that "Born this Way" is bulls*it, 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).

Perhaps most strikingly, Rogers alleges that Morgan said:

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.

Rogers continued to describe the rant, which we've excerpted:

He took time to visit the bulls*it of this bullying stuff and informed us that the gays needed to quit being p*ssies 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 f*ckers that bully them, not whine about it.

As it stands, Morgan's reps refused to comment to gay issues site Unicornbooty.com, writing, "There is no comment, thank you for your inquiry."

The Ryman Auditorium responded in a statement, saying it "regrets that people were offended" by the performance but adds the disclaimer that it "does not control the content presented by people appearing on its stage, nor does it endorse any of the views of, or statements made by, such persons."

First of all Jesus spoke of Sodom but He never linked Sodom to homosexuality. And Tracy all this ranting you need to climb out of your own closet! You are sooooo gay acting yourself! Please!

By pnut166

I may be mistaken, but I don`t recall Jesus speaking of Sodom. Sodom and Gommorah met their fate in the Old Testament, correct ? And yes, there was reference to "men lying with men", and it being an abomination. I don`t claim to be a Biblical scholar, but I believe I`m right.

"Before they had gone to bed, all the men from every part of the city
of Sodom-both young and old-surrounded the house. They called to Lot,
"Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us so
that we can have sex with them." (Genesis 19:4-5)

Good one, very original, you hate 2 guys together and use a biblical reference. But I'm sure you're a hypocrite and would LOVE to watch Anna & Evelyn get together.

You know, Mr. whoever you are, if you'd check with Los Angeles research center at UCLA you might fing out you're wrong about choices. Dude, you don't CHOOSE this lifestyle, it chooses YOU. And remember, in John 3:16 was it whom that said, WHOSOEVER, not WHATSOEVER.

Gay or straight is not a choice we make for ourselves. It a choice our own bodies make for us. The level or testosterone or estrogen in our brains make us the human beings we are. We have no choice. Some men behave like women and some women behave like men as our souls decide. If we don't meet our "soul mate" which is our own other soul, one from God and one in our bodies, we have a difficulty. It has nothing to do with choice.

By linda

It is a choice to have sex or to not have sex. One does not "Have" to have sex. You will not die if you do not have sex. If one is to say it is not a choice then they must also believe that child molesters do not have a choice either.

@Linda

Choosing to have or not to have sex has nothing to do with whom you are oriented sexually towards. Because you choose not to have sex does not mean that you are not a homosexual. If that was true then a heterosexual not having sex would mean that person is not heterosexual. Having sex with people of certain ages in the USA is against law (it is not in some places of the world).

Linda, nobody wakes up in the morning and decides, "Okay, today, I am going to be gay for the rest of my life." It makes no sense that hetero or homo sexuality could be just a matter of choice, keeping in mind the advances of science that have answered many puzzling questions concerning nature and the human body. We are not animals or insects that change sex at will. Depending upon the sex of same species in the nearest proximity does not dictate whether we decide to grow a penis or a vagina. We are at the top of the food chain with reasoning minds -- most of us at least.

Amen to that! I'm a homophobe, can't stand them. So what? I have a right to my opinion, and there's nothing you can do about it. I'm not a mindless sheeple that goes along with the crowd because I'm afraid of not being PC. Homosexuality is abnormal, period. Just because a minority of people say it's ok, doesn't make it so. You gays just stay away from me and we'll all be fine.
