IN THE STREETS & ON THE WEB

“30 Rock” actor Tracy Morgan has been accused of making anti-gay comments at a recent comedy show in Nashville.

Kevin Rogers, who said he attended the comedian’s June 3 show at Ryman Auditorium, detailed the alleged statements in a Facebook note, “Why I No Longer ‘Like’ Tracy Morgan.” Rogers claims that Morgan said being gay is a choice because “God don’t make no mistakes” and that lesbians are “just pretending.”

He also alleges that Morgan said if his son was gay, his child would have to “talk to him like a man,” not a homosexual, or he would stab him to death. Rogers said 10 to 15 people walked out of the show.

The actor reportedly made similar statements at a 2009 show in New York City, calling homosexuality “a choice,” according to the New York Daily News.

The Ryman Auditorium responded in a statement, saying the theater “regrets that people were offended by statements” Morgan made, adding that it “does not control the content presented by people appearing on its stage, nor does it endorse any of the views of, or statements made by, such persons.” Morgan’s rep issued a statement saying, “There is no comment. Thank you.”

Truth Wins Out, a non-profit that “fights anti-gay religious extremism,” according to its Web site, has called on Morgan to respond .
