'Duck Dynasty's' Phil Robertson on Indefinite Hiatus Following Anti-Gay Remarks
hollywoodreporter.com ^ | 12-18-2013 | Lesley Goldberg

A&E has placed Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson on indefinite hiatus following anti-gay remarks he made in a recent profile in GQ.

"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," A&E said in a statement. "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."

Here’s the lie, the depravity:

“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,” GLAAD spokesperson Wilson Cruz said. “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. Phil’s decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors, who now need to re-examine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families.”

No Wilson Cruz, Christians do not accept practicing homosexuals. Wilson Cruz You are the one out of step with reality. The majority of Americans DO NOT accept this depravity or believe your relationships are loving.

Could you post that examiner article here?

I couldn’t read it at the site, too many ads blocking the text. One leaves, and another pops up.

Not worth it.

If it’s not reported anywhere else, the examiner is just making it up. Sick sleazy website

A&E will feel the wrath of their viewership. I don’t know who the CEO is but he/she better be sending out resumes right now.

I hope people tell A&E to go screw themselves. Just because I think homosexuality is disgusting doesn't mean I hate anybody. These liberals are nothing but fascist pigs. Why don't they give gun owners the same protection as homos?

Maybe not staged but certainly was anticipated. Phil and Allen are wanting do more public Christian witnessing and have said so. Phil did make leaving noises earlier last month. Sure is a lot of Duck Dynasty publicity just before Christmas and a month before the new season is scheduled to begin. Yeah, they's dumb awright!

Nah. Humanists don’t care about heaven. What made them so mad was that he actually said it: that gay men have anal sex. They like to keep that secret and tell all the teenage boys that its all about hugging and light kissing and “just being dudes that like dudes”. They don’t like to have any light shined on exactly what homo-SEXual means in physical terms.

In Obama language, “that’s bad optics”.

I wish RNC committeeman Dave Agema could get as much support as Robertson. Democrats and liberal republicans are screaming for his resignation for telling the truth about the costs associated with aids in Obamacare.

I find most of the shows on TV to be highly offensive
