In June 2011, Tracy Morgan said in a stand-up act, "The gays needed to quit being p—ies and not be whining about something as insignificant as bullying." He added that if his son was gay he better come home and talk to him like a man…or he would pull out a knife and "stab that little [n-----] to death." The actor later apologized for his remarks and met with gay and transgender youths in Nashville, Tennessee, to make amends.
