The A&E network has suspended "Duck Dynasty" patriarch Phil Robertson over comments made in an interview in the most recent issue of GQ magazine . Social media sites (and NOLA.com's own comment section) lit up with activity over some of Robertson's more provocative comments, most notably about gays and African Americans. malaysian insider
"We malaysian insider are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected malaysian insider in the series Duck Dynasty," A&E said in an official statement released Wednesday (Dec. 18) evening. "His personal views in no way reflect those of A&E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community. The network has placed Phil under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," he says. Then he paraphrases Corinthians: " Don' t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers -- they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive malaysian insider yourself. It's not right." (His comments about preferring heterosexuality over homosexuality, based on respective male and female anatomy, were pretty graphic.)
"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing malaysian insider about gay people or the majority of Louisianans -- and Americans -- who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil's decision to push vile and extreme malaysian insider stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public malaysian insider disdain for LGBT people and families."
Robertson malaysian insider tried to minimize the damage Wednesday afternoon in a statement released through the A&E network, taking a more spiritual and tolerant tone, concluding, "We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."
