Kevin Rogers, who said he attended the comedian’s June 3 show at Ryman Auditorium, detailed the alleged statements in a Facebook note, “Why I No Longer ‘Like’ Tracy Morgan.” Rogers claims that Morgan said being gay is a choice because “God don’t make no mistakes” and that lesbians are “just pretending.”
He also alleges that Morgan said if his son was gay, his child would have to “talk to him like a man,” not a homosexual, or he would stab him to death.
Well. O.k. then. If God doesn't make mistakes, why are there gay people? Perhaps because God doesn't make mistakes and wants them to be here?
It'll be interesting to see how Tracy defends himself. Then again, maybe he won't. Or can't. Because he really believes it. Wow.
When we saw Morgan perform for a sold-out crowd at Carnegie Hall last November, his gay jokes put the audience on edge because they weren't so much jokes as they were angry missives.
In fact, it's been a staple of Morgan's act for months now to simply point out he doesn't believe people can be born gay.
There's no set-up. There's no punchline. And when he says it, you can see the hairs stand up on the necks of the people in front of you.
