Since when did Gay People become off limits when it came to jokes? (death, speech)

i cant belive this Tracy Morgan thing is becoming this big

players cant even say the f word on nba courts

why are GLADD being so sensitive about it?

its not even discrimination its just jokes

you can joke about other groups of people but not Gays, that doesnt seem fair

There are only two groups of people left that you can ridicule.
White middle aged men.
Anyone who identifies themself as a christian.

it wasnt about violence if he was joking about violence

did you honestly believe he would stab his son if he thought he was gay? yes or no, tell the truth

Freedom of speech went out with the incandescent light bulb.

Saying you would stab your son to death if he said he was gay IS over the line---can't you see that?

I agree tracy 'thought" it was a joke but it did go to far. when you are in the public eye part of what goes with that is scrutiny and all public figures are called to task, fair or not when they step over the line. tracy stepped over the line.

Tons of comedians make jokes about gays, though. Your post is operating under a false pretense. Sometimes people simply have a limit.

If all your "jokes" are at some group's expense, then yours is not a very sophisticated sense of humor. Of course, I probably shouldn't expect you to understand that.

If you watch much standup you see that there are plenty of comedians who tell jokes about gays or other groups, but none of them are all that famous, because their material is amateur.
