Tracy Morgan's anti-gay rant during stand-up show

A man named Kevin Rogers has posted on Facebook a note called "Why I No Longer 'Like' Tracy Morgan," where Rogers details an incident from last Friday night (June 3). During a stand-up routine in Nashville, TN, actor/comedian Tracy Morgan went on a rant that included the following anti-gay statements:
- All this gay s*** is crazy
- 'Born This Way' is bulls***
- There is no way a woman could love and have sexual desire for another woman, that's just a woman pretending because she hates a f****** man
- Gays need to quit being p****** and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying
- Gay is something that kids learn from the media and programming
- Bullied kids should just bust some a** and beat those other little f****** that bully them, not whine about it.
- If Tracy's son was gay, he better talk to me like a man and not in a high, gay voice or Tracy will pull out a knife and stab that little n***** to death
- He doesn't f****** care if he pisses off some gays, because if they can take a f****** dick up their a**...they can take a f****** joke.
Strong stuff. You know, they say that on "30 Rock" Tracy Morgan basically plays himself, but there is no real-life Liz Lemon to figure out a way to make this a sitcom misunderstanding.
Why so much hate, Tracy? Even if you feel that way, which is your prerogative to feel, playing down the bullying problem and talking about stabbing your gay son are some alarming things to say.
What say you, Pop2it readers?

Sounds like Tracy is an A$$hole. Jokes are one thing, but these are straight out attacks. I love Tina Fey, but I do not need to watch 30 Rock any longer!
That is so funny. Way to speak your mind Tracy!
What he said was loathsome. "30 Rock" has just lost one viewer in me.
He is such an idiot. I have always hated him and now I hate him even more. Tina Fey, please fire him from your show so that I can keep watching. Tracy Morgan/Jordan/whatever is a worthless piece of s*it!!!
I hope Child Protective Services investigates that fool. Tina Fey has two choices, fire him (preferably from a cannon) or have her show boycotted by every gay rights group in the country.
I can't in all good conscious support 30 Rock when this type of hate is spewed by one of it's stars. I don't mind a comic making fun of a situation -but to spew the type of hate in his act -it totally took any respect I had for the actor and any project he is involved. Hate is hate -even when it tries to wrap itself as a comedy act. I love you Tina -but you lost a viewer.
That's strange: I always assumed Tracey Morgan was gay! (at least his mannerisms reflect that)
I had no idea who this loser was. Before I read the article, I thought he was a girl - with a name like Tracy. Come to think of it, his insecurities are showing.
This is the type of promotion he lives for. In an interview he said if his comedy is not controversial he is not doing his job. The way to really make him feel it, is just not talk about him or refer to the situation.
I think he's spot on with that second quote. And he's got a point. Problem is, you people are overly sensitive and cry like little girls if something derogatory is said about gay people. Heck, I'm more worried about the way I'M treated in public than I am a bunch of ho.mo's that cry ACLU! ACLU! at the drop of a hat.
