In the fallout over Wednesday’s suspension of “Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson by A&E for anti-gay and racist remarks, GLAAD is experiencing record levels of backlash. “In the five-and-a-half years I’ve worked at GLAAD, I’ve never received so many violently angry phone calls and social media posts attacking GLAAD for us speaking out against these comments,” the media watchdog organization’s vice president of communications Rich Ferraro told TheWrap. He said those reactions range from those who simply believe as Robertson believes to those who feel that GLAAD and A&E’s actions limit the reality star’s free speech.

That is one where Americans, gay and straight, are able to speak out when people in the public eye make anti-gay and racist remarks.”

At least he didn’t look at her and say “ibecumming”.
lol! Thanks!
Ditto brother. If you don’t have to tolerate me, guess I don’t have to tolerate you.
Just sharing information. Please don’t take offense.
That “before civil rights” crap is a Liberal Wet Dream line. They hoped he said it, but he wasn’t even close.
Every article that I’ve read in the MSM ASSUMES that everyone automatically recognizes the GLAAD acronym. I don’t. Does anyone in FR know? Seriously, I’ve never heard of it before this week.
MacNaughton shared information. You went for a cheap shot. So folks got informed, and you got your entertainment. Everybody wins.
Probably. They’d probably have a fit of the vapors if they saw my little collection of frilly aprons. Feminazis, all leftists really, are so scripted and predictable. I don’t even try to hear them anymore, it’s like listening to a broken record.
Finish the sentence, GLAAD: "What goes around . . ."

Gays, Lesbians And Affiliated Dumb-asses.
I just know they’re a collection of various perverts, that’s close enough for me.
Thanks for the explanation, mrsmel. Was this part of the GQ piece?
Something about gay lesbian and anti-defamation. Victimidation.
Thanks. Works for me.
Nevermind, mrsmel...I see the quoted piece in post 19.
That’s my understanding, I’ve only read the excerpts posted at FR. I can’t bring myself to go to GQ, haven’t even thought of that rag in years.
Well, let me say that GLAAD (an acronym that means nothing like what they stand for) is again pushing the envelope for political correctness! That alone ought to welcome you into the world of normal!
To agree with GLAAD is to agree to suppress free speech, push the GAY agenda, shut up and agree or get demonized by both the media and their agenda driven group (Yes, 90% of media are in sympathy - today). Or...you can continue and lose money, get publicized by GLAAD, get picketed, and your business just might go under. That is called blackmailing under most other schemes but today, it is called advocate pressure.
I call it blackmail and enforced by today’s media!
LOL, I was too quick on the trigger-oops, hope I didn’t set any Big Brother “alarms” off!
Probably not the right thread to ask this question, but I keep wondering....can you fire someone because of their religious beliefs?
Post 19 has the text of what he said on the subject. That IS different than how the MSM characterized his statement.
I think "the next step" is for the DD group to witness the Good Word to the folks at GLAAD so they can learn about our lives and the values we share.
