phil robertson, the founder of duck commander and patriarch of the robertson family, has been "suspended" (read: FIRED.) following anti-gay remarks made in an interview for GQ magazine.
the trouble started when the "duck dynasty" star, while discussing his religious beliefs in the article, equates homosexuality to bestiality. he then goes on to say,
"It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me. 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."
a rep for a&e has released the following statement...
"We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson’s comments in GQ, which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series Duck Dynasty. His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community."
will jase, willie, jep and uncle si really agree to continue filming the show without phil?!?
we shall see...
