Tracy Morgan goes on a homophobic rant during his comedy show

Im torn about even posting this but he disgusts me so much..
---------------------

Tracy Morgan's homophobic act in Nashville was met with a smattering of boos -- and several people also walked out of the show -- this according to a person who was at the show.

"30 Rock" star Tracy Morgan is under some very serious fire this morning -- after reportedly spewing some disgusting homophobic "jokes" during a performance in Nashville last week.

According to reports, Morgan took the stage at the Ryman Auditorium (pictured above) and went off about gays -- saying, "Gays need to quit being p**sies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying."

He added, "Gay is something that kids learn from the media and programming."

When talking about the possibility of his son being gay -- Tracy 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."

Afterward, Tracy told the crowd, "I don't "f*cking care if I piss off some gays, because if they can take a f*cking d**k up their *** ... they can take a f*cking joke."

After the performance, the Ryman Auditorium issued a statement on the performance saying, "The Ryman Auditorium regrets that people were offended by statements made by Tracy Morgan during his June 3 appearance."

The statement continues, "The Ryman 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."

It's not the first time Morgan has ignited controversy over homphobic material -- back in 2009, a bunch of people reportedly walked out of his show at Carnegie Hall after he said being gay was a "choice."

So far, no comment from Morgan's camp.

Everything he is said is disgusting. I never really liked him but now I will never support anything he is apart of.

Sounds like an awful lot of self hatred to me. Like it's more than just "jokes", it's very angry. I wonder...

What a disgusting human being!

Aside from this stunt...

Is there something mentally wrong with him? Or is he just eccentric?

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised. They joke about it a lot with his character on 30 Rock, but it really rings true sometimes.

Yeah, I don't see any humor there. I am hoping there are some serious consequences.

Re: Tracy Morgan goes on a homophobic rant during his comedy show

Apparently Tracy Morgan does not remember what happened to Issiah Washington and Michael Richards. (Who? Exactly.)

I was never a big fan, he always came off as fake and disingenuous to me.

Way to alienate a lot of your fans, douchenozzle.
