Comedian stands up for gay rights
Comedian Tracy Morgan has been under heavy fire from the LGBT community since going on an anti-gay rant during a comedy routine in Nashville, Tennessee last Thursday.
However, according to E! Online, in an effort to demonstrate his remorse, the 30 Rock star has scheduled meetings with young gay people who have been rejected by their families because of their homosexuality.
"I know how bad bullying can hurt. I was bullied when I was a kid," Morgan said.
