Claim: Tweet reproduces actor Morgan Freeman's statement about homophobia.
Example:[Collected via e-mail, September 2012]
For a few days now i have seen a post on Facebook that says:
'I hate the word homophobia. It's not a phobia. You are not scared; you are an asshole.'
Well, today I see that it has suddenly been attributed to Morgan Freeman.
Origins: The above-reproduced statement about homophobia was a quip that came to
be attributed to Academy Award-winning actor Morgan Freeman in August 2012. However, Morgan Freeman neither originated nor repeated those words: they came to be associated with his name through a 12 August 2012 Twitter entry posted to the Tweets from God feed, a humor site which represents itself with an image of the actor portraying God in the film Bruce Almighty.
The "Tweets from God" Twitter page includes a disclaimer noting that "This account is not associated with Morgon Freeman [sic], it's just a parody!"
