Tracy Morgan Goes On Gay Rant (Updated)

30 Rock star and comedian, Tracy Morgan is under fire after allegedly going on a homophobic rant during a performance in Nashville last week.

According to TMZ, Morgan started spewing tasteless and disturbing jokes about gays on the Ryman Auditorium stage.

Tracy is accused of saying, “Gays need to quit being p—sies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying.”

Also, “Gay is something that kids learn from the media and programming.”

Then when he began talking about the possibility of his own son being gay he said, “he 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.”

And as if that wasn’t enough Tracy continued, “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–… they can take a f-cking joke.”

It’s like the ‘Michael Richards‘ situation all over again.

There has been no word from Morgan’s camp about the event.

What a D-Bag.

UPDATE (Matt):

Morgan has issued an apology through his representative to The Huffington Post.

“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,” says Morgan. “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.”

Before Morgan had issued this apology GLAAD‘s president, Jarrett Barrios, was quick to speak out against Morgan’s anti-gay rant. “We call on him to remove this violently anti-gay remarks from his show and send a strong message that anti-gay violence is not something to joke about.”

Another audience member at Ryman Auditorium on June 3 has come forward with allegations that Morgan also had a women-bashing rant during his controversial act.

The source tells Popeater that out of nowhere Morgan just started ranting, “the evening went from jokes to a homophobic and women-bashing rant,” the source added that the “turn was abrupt and insanely odd.”

“He said all of this weird sh-t about how if women stayed at home, kids wouldn’t be doing the sh-t they do today,” the source said. “It was some of the most sexist sh-t I’ve heard outside of an episode of ‘Mad Men.’ I get that the homophobic rant is sexier to the media, but his remarks against women were really, really offensive.”

I wonder when the next apology will be issued…
