Tracy Morgan has his tail between his legs these days because of his anti-gay comments he made on stage last week. His reparation tour includes meeting up with gay youth who have been ostracized by their own families because of their sexuality. I’m so happy his “advisors” suggested he do this. He needs to pay reparations, and also see how hurtful and damaging his comments can be.

Tracy told E!,

“I know how bad bullying can hurt. I was bullied when I was a kid. I’m sorry for what I said. I didn’t mean it. I never want to use my comedy to hurt anyone. My family knew what it was like to feel different. My brother was disabled and I lost my father to AIDS in 1987.

My dad wasn’t gay, but I also learned about homophobia then because of how people treated people who were sick with that. Parents should support and love their kids no matter what. Gay people deserve the same right to be happy in this country as everyone else. Our laws should support that.”

If he really feels that way, then he should have never made those comments. Douche.

**UPDATE** He’s going back to Nashville to apologize. Still a douche.

She started playing soccer at the age of 4, and continued playing through college where she majored in Biology, but quickly realized her destiny was to tell jokes, not to wear a lab coat. So she decided to be funny while finishing her Bachelors Degree in biology and continued on to get her M.B.A. Nadine’s comedy style is much like her athleticism, fearless. She’s made her way up the comedy ladder very quickly, and has become a club favorite at many of the country’s top comedy clubs, including the Improv chain. Performing in the Boston Comedy Festival and being noted as the “one of the youngest and brightest up and comers” and traveling to the Middle East to entertain the troops are just a few of her notable accomplishments. These days Nadine splits time between the stage, a radio studio, her computer blogging, and a television studio. Nadine’s TV, Radio, Writing credits include: national commercials, talking head roles on E!

    I knew there was a reason why I never liked Tracy or thought he was funny. It is because he is a douche. What he said was disgusting and he should know better. Douche.

    Tracey Morgan is as funny as William from the Bachelorette – maybe they can be the next craaaaazy comedy duo?

    Watching PBS program on the Stonewall Riots and the horrors of the hateful society gays lived in. This should be required viewing. Tracy Morgan’s douchie remarks come right out of that disgustingly hateful era. Two steps forward, one step back.

    I have no idea which is the real Tracy Morgan! Because…that rant was definitely not good and not funny and didn’t seem or feel like a joke. But, this new statement also feels kind of heart-felt and whatnot.

    I can’t help but be cynical and think that Tina Fey called him and said he best better apologize and make everyone believe it, or he’s gone…
