Really, Tina Fey?

From what I've heard about Tracy Morgan's stand-up performance comments about homosexual people, or at least his (hypothetical?) son, I would condemn the statements. But I have to question responses like this:

Fey also hopes Morgan’s gay and lesbian colleagues at "30 Rock" will accept his apology, or else "Tracy would not have lines to say, clothes to wear, sets to stand on, scene partners to act with or a printed-out paycheck from accounting to put in his pocket."

Really, Tina Fey? All of the "30 Rock" writers, costuming designers and wardrobe personnel, set designers and builders, actors (aside from Morgan), and fiscal staff are homosexual people? If so, then it sounds like a clear case of illegal discrimination.

Many comedians make outrageous comments about behavior and identity traits. This goes on constantly. I'm not defending any of that, but this frenzy about Morgan is just another example showing that the general public is not "anti-gay", nor are homosexual people powerless (as marriage neutering advocates have argued). They are obviously extremely powerful.

By the way, if it weren't for heterosexual people, none of us would be here.
