Tracy Morgan to meet with GLAAD

Via GLAAD's website:

Tracy Morgan: “I know how bad bullying can hurt. I was bullied when I was a kid. 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. Parents should support and love their kids no matter what. Gay people deserve the same right to be happy in this country as everyone else. Our laws should support that.”

Ok, Tracy tries to make good. But I'm seriously tired of contrition as a result of being slapped on the hand. Tracy, all I gotta say is you better make this good.

Tracy Morgan: I Went Too Far

Tracy Morgan claims that it was a joke that went to far. But personally the way the account sounded, it wasn't a joke as much as a rant and a diatribe. There was no humor in the account. Tracy even said gays should “take a f**king joke”.

The comedian said he “clearly went too far” with the remarks, which included saying he would stab his son to death if he came out as gay.

This afternoon, he said: “I want to apologise to my fans and the gay and 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.

Tracy Morgan Would Kill His Gay Son

In a stand-up show Tracy did, he let loose some really disgusting homophobic rants and claimed that he would kill his own son, if he was gay and whined about being bullied:

30 Rock star, and alum of Saturday Night Live, Tracy Morgan had a stand-up routine on June 3rd that went anywhere but where he probably was anticipating it would go. The comedian ended up going off on a hate-filled homophobic tirade onstage in a Nashville, Tennessee club.

"He mentioned that gay was something kids learn from the media and programming, and that bullied kids should just bust some *ss and beat those other little f**kers 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."

Tina Fey, you need to do something about this and kill off the Tracy Jordan character on 30 Rock.  By the way, Tracy, take Sherri Shepard with you.

The whole disgusting story here.

UPDATE: Tracy apologizes through his publicist.  Wanna bet the publicist wrote the whole thing? There was not one misspelling on that.
