Phil Robertson, patriarch of the “Duck Dynasty” clan, is being slammed for controversial comments he made about homosexuality in an interview in the January issue of GQ.
“It seems like, to me, a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than
a man’s anus. That’s just me,” Robertson told the magazine. “I’m just
thinking: There’s more there! She’s got more to offer. I mean, come on,
dudes! You know what I’m saying? But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man.
It’s just not logical.”[Actually, while you might not agree, Robertson is only talking about why he prefers to join 97% of the population in his practice of heterosexual practice. His reason IS the reason why all heterosexuals are "heterosexual."]
When the reporter asked Robertson what he found sinful, he said “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.”
[Robertson is describing sexual sins from his understanding of the biblical message. He is NOT typifying homo people as "into" bestiality" any more than he is typifying a male homo as being "into" women. There are no "stereotypes in his statement, none at all].
And, the false claims of folks who do not care to read or listen to what has been said:
“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,” said GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz. “He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans — and Americans — who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples.
[Exactly what did Robertson say that is incorrect? 97% of the male population prefers the female body. That is all the man is saying. If there is anything "vile," it is where the home puts his wing-wang . . . I said "if."]
“Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.”
(Read the NY Post, here, for the full article).
[Because Phil chose the everyday language of the American commoner, is no reason to brand his descriptive language as "vile" or "sterotypical."]

Are you that ignorant that you don't understand free speech is protects you against gov't censorship, not censorship of a private company or contract? I guess so.
ReplyDeleteRednecks rally behind the bigot. so predictable.
Wrong side of history.
Really? So from now on I will delete your ignorant ass from this blog?? Works for you??? I think I did that to you in the past, and you screamed "free speech." What is the opposite of freedom in the private sector, moron, if not legalized repression of whole segments of our population. Our country was built on "freedom" at all levels. Write me back one more time, telling me that "free speech" is not a principle by which we all should live by and I will delete all your future comments. Let's see how you like being repressed by those who have the bully pulpit, chump.
