A&E, as you may have heard, has suspended the Duck Dynasty patriarch, Phil Robertson, from the reality TV show for voicing his opinion to GQ Magazine. The interviewer asked about Phil`s thoughts regarding homosexuality as well as his thoughts about how southern blacks faired when he was growing up. A&E was well aware of Robertson`s beliefs, but when they got heat from GLAAD, they cowered away like mice from pussy cats. You see, Robertson believes what the Bible says about homosexuality, (that it`s a sin), and the forces at GLAAD weren`t glad that he said it. The not-so-glad GLAAD folks got all in a tizzy and may have pressured A&E to drop the axe on Phil Robertson.
GLAAD states on their website that they work "with print, broadcast and online news sources to bring people powerful stories from the LGBT community that build support for equality. And when news outlets get it wrong, GLAAD is there to respond and advocate for fairness and accuracy." From this, we can surmise that Robertson's interpretation of the Bible and his beliefs are a misunderstanding of God's word, is incorrect, according to GLAAD. Being gay is okay according to the Bible and GLAAD. Therefore, in order to provide "fairness and accuracy," GLAAD has pressured A&E to fire him. Makes perfect nonsense.
