Tracy Morgan is a pathetic homophobic misogynistic shitstain. Don't believe me? Here are some highlights from his June 3rd stand-up routine in Nashville, Tennessee:
I always find it baffling how on one hand I hear that the Christian god is ultimately unknowable in the sense that we mortals (his supposed children/creations) are not privy to the rhyme or reason for his plans and yet so many are adamant that they know being gay is a choice. That god, who shapes everyone one and has a direct hand in every aspect of our life (i.e. "God never gives us more than we can handle." and "God has a plan for us all."), would never, ever, ever create someone who loves people of the same sex/gender.
In other words all those lesbos just need a good dickingand I'm the man to do it. Why do some men get so angry that lesbians don't want anything to do with a penis? Could it be because men have this sense that they should be entitled to every pussy in their general vicinity? How vain do you have to be to take offense that there are women who have zero interest in you?
Also, the people who say bullying isn't a big deal or that it's insignificant are often the same people who were never bullied themselves. If they claim they were, it basically amounts to "I was called four-eyes once" because they wore glasses. They never had people try to harm them physically, or if they did, it was an isolated incident. They never had to go to school every day in fear of being harmed or harassed. Bullying is not insignificant, and I can definitely say that while my life would never be perfect, many aspects of it would have been a hell of a lot more positive without all the harassment and bullying I was subjected to.
I know how his son feels. While my father never knew I was attracted to women (and my mother still doesn't know either), hearing him make homophobic remarks, outright stating that having a gay child was a horrifying nightmare to him, and disparaging gays and lesbians at every opportunity really harmed our relationship. And it made me terrified of who I was and scared of what he might do if he learned I wasn't 100% straight. It's one of several reasons I've never been in a relationship with another woman despite many attractions and a few crushes. I feared being punished unfairly for being myself and being disowned and tossed out on my ass.
Before you say it, I don't care if his son never hears this routine because of Mr. Morgan is willing to say this shit on stage in front of a crowded theater, he damn well is saying similar shit at home where his son can hear it. Even if he thinks his son isn't in the same room or doesn't hear it, trust me, he is aware of his father's feelings. It doesn't matter if his son is gay or straight, it matters that Mr. Morgan is flat-out saying "I'll only love you if you like girls." It matters that Mr. Morgan is using a public platform to preach hatred and violence against an already oppressed group of people for no other reason than he's afraid of people who are different.
Here's a clue: If your so-called jokes invoke the same rhetoric as people who advocate violence against glbtq or any oppressed minority and it's not satire, it's not a joke. You are on the same level as Fred Phelps and other homophobic asswipes. People aren't laughing, they're applauding and nodding their heads in agreement. You are telling them it's okay to kill someone because they are gay.
And before anyone goes "But what about free speech?" Sure, Morgan's got free speech, but the catch is so do I and so does every other American. He has every right to get up on stage and be an utter tool; however, everyone else has every right to respond and explain why he's being an utter tool, why his "jokes" are ultimately harmful, and basically tell him he's a horrible person who deserves the shaming he's getting.
Blah, blah, blah, yeah he's apologized, blah. Here's the line that gets to me: "I’m not a hateful person and don’t condone any kind of violence against others." Except when he does, like he did on June 3.
-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.
In other words all those lesbos just need a good dicking

-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.

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.
