Why is it ok to blast religion but not homosexuality? Tracy Morgan bad guy, Lady Gaga good girl?
First of all I don’t condone hateful remarks against any groups, Gays, Christians, Muslims, whatever the case. I read a story about Tracy Morgan’s remarks and got to thinking. When this guy has a tirade and says or does bad stuff, advocacy groups and other celebrities are calling for him to apologize. Even some groups were demanding for him to be fired by NBC. He did apologize and so did NBC and even Tina Fey. Then you have Lady Gaga who really hasn't’t said any hateful remarks against religion, but has done some disrespectful things in her videos, like eat a Catholic rosary or release her Judas video during Holy Week. Her videos seem to be her voice. Christian groups have asked for her apology among other things of course this his not happened. This is crazy because she preaches tolerance and is against hate. So in Morgan’s case it hurts his career but in Gagas case it means millions of albums sold. What’s your take? Is there a double standard? Why cant we all live in peace. Gaga doesn't need to be controversial to sell albums, she has lots of talent, just as Morgan doesn't need to make humor of gays to create laughs.
