Among them will be Elke Kennedy, the founder of Sean's Last Wish, whose son Sean was killed at age 20 by anti-gay violence in 2007 in South Carolina. According to GLAAD, another man called him a "f-ggot" and punched him so hard it broke his facial bones and separated his brain from his brain stem. 

Morgan also told GLAAD he will participate in GLAAD's upcoming "Amplify Your Voice" PSA campaign to combat anti-LGBT bullying.

"I know how bad bullying can hurt," he said. "I was bullied when I was a kid. I'm sorry for what I said. I didn't mean it. I never want to use my comedy to hurt anyone. My family knew what it was like to feel different. My brother was disabled, and I lost my father to AIDS in 1987. My dad wasn't gay but I also learned about homophobia then because of how people treated people who were sick with that.

"Parents should support and love their kids no matter what. Gay people deserve the same right to be happy in this country as everyone else. Our laws should support that. I hope that my fans gay, straight, whatever forgive, and I hope my family forgives me for this."

Added Barrios: "Meeting with gay and transgender youth shunned by their parents and families who have lost loved ones to anti-gay violence is an important first step. These meetings will help Tracy better understand that no one should be treated differently or subjected to violence."

During a show in Nashville earlier this month, Morgan said that if his son were gay, “he better come home and talk to him like a man ... or he would pull out a knife and stab that little N to death,” according to an attendee.

Among those who have spoken out against Morgan are Wanda Sykes, Chris Rock, NBC entertainment chief Robert Greenblatt and Morgan's 30 Rock co-stars Tina Fey, Alec Baldwin and Cheyenne Jackson.
