"Tracy Morgan has fulfilled his pledge to meet with members of the LGBT community following his recent homophobia scandal.  The 30 Rock actor sparked a worldwide controversy after making a series of anti-gay comments at a stand-up gig in Nashville, Tennessee earlier this month.  After issuing a statement with the Gay &amp;amp; Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) this week revealing his plans to visit gay teens in New York, Morgan yesterday travelled to the city&amp;#039;s Ali Forney Centre, an organisation for homeless LGBT youth.  The 42-year-old met with teenagers who had been ejected from their homes over their sexuality, as well as a mother whose 20-year-old gay son was killed in a hate crime back in 2007, GLAAD told E! Online.  &amp;quot;Our parents&amp;#039; inability to accept us changed our lives for the worse,&amp;quot; Ali Forney residents Jayden Love and Raciel Castillo said in a joint statement. &amp;quot;We hope that our stories have the power to change not only Tracy&amp;#039;s perspective, but those of any parent who may be struggling with accepting their child.  &amp;quot;In the meeting, Tracy clearly took responsibility for his words, and we hope that he will use his platform to make the world a better place for LGBT people.&amp;quot; Morgan previously apologised for his homophobic rant and vowed to offer his regrets upon a planned return to Nashville.
