GLAAD TO TRACY MORGAN: MEET WITH THE PARENTS OF GAY KIDS WHO KILLED THEMSELVES | CNN hosted a panel discussion with GLAAD president Jarrett Barrios about Tracy Morgan’s homophobic remarks at Ryman Auditorium in Nashvile, TN. Barrios said that Morgan’s comments provide a “green light” for discrimination against gay people and called on the comedian to “meet with the parents of kids who’ve killed themselves or lost their lives in the hands of violence” and “homeless gay kids who have been kicked out because of their parents’ homophobia.”

1. I've defended Tracy in the past but he has to go.

This is beyond the pale. NBC has to ban him from the show if Tina does not do the right thing.

2. Does that homophobic pig have kids?

Because if he does, he should be reported to Social Services. In fact, I think I'll do that!

3. He actually brought his child into the act.

He said that if his son came home and told him he was gay, he would get a knife and kill his son.

4. heartbreak

hope some light shines on that ignorant individual. I'm sure bringing his bigotry into the spotlight and providing a vehicle to fight it was the last thing on his mind.

5. I've never thought he was funny or had talent

and this just proves my point. Ashhole.
