I have to question the reference (not its inclusion in the article). Morgan uses the "n" word and it is deemed acceptable(-ish) because he is black. Gay comedians make jokes about them selves all the time. There is a single standard: if you are a part of a certain group, you are allowed to mock the group in question but are open to criticism should some believe your jokes encourage negative stereotypes.--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 14:34, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

:I think the main reason an apology was demanded was because he questioned the central dogma of gay rights: that homosexuals are "born that way" and that [[choice]]s have nothing to do with it. You might take a look at the controversy of [[reparative therapy]], which is for adults who want help dealing with unwanted [[same-sex attraction]]. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 14:42, 14 June 2011 (EDT)

::I was talking about some of the content of the article referenced [http://atlantapost.com/2011/06/14/tracy-morgan-and-the-comedic-double-standard-why-is-it-ok-to-joke-about-the-n-word-but-not-gays/], and countered its assertion of a double standard.--[[User:CamilleT|CamilleT]] 16:33, 14 June 2011 (EDT)
