Duck Dynasty Anti-Gay Remarks
11 years ago
First of all, I don't watch the show. But I have heard what Phil Robertson said and I think pulling him from the show may have been 2 steps too far.
What he said was merely remarking what he believed. He was expressing what he felt was immoral by the logic of his mind. And dare I defend him, he's got a right to free speech. He said "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." And when he said "That's just me" he was clearly implying his personal opinion. And now we have people who are getting upset with the outrage behind this and I'm going to have to stand with the people who are expressing outrage. He just spoke what he thought honestly, let him go. He in a sense apologized and rephrased what he said so forgive and forget.
Like I said, I don't watch the show. In fact I kind of hate the concept of the show. I saw a little bit of one episode and thought "...this is so stupid." But I'm not going to naturally follow the heard screaming "anti-gay hate!" like with what happened with chick-fil-a. Get over it.
In conclusion. MERRY CHRISTMAS!

He was really stating his opinion and its a free country. SO long as he doesn't hurt anyone he can believe as he wants. Hell his borhter fought in Vietnam for those very rights and priviledges of this country.
A person has the freedom to do as they wish so long as no one is harmed and the law is unbroken. People are too jumpy nowadays.
This is just another example of the growing more disport for media taking the smallest little comment or option and trying to turn into this Big thing. Like you I personal didn't even care if this guy’s not a big fan of guys like us that’s just his deal and as you said freedom of speech.
So my personal option to this whole Duck show guy is …………. Who cares, and just let it go.
Now if it came to the point where this guy and his family were encourage others like him to hunt us down like they do to all those poor duckys….. Then we might have a problem, am I right ?
Merry Christmas Too all :3
