“Duck Dynasty” star Phil Robertson has been fired from the reality program following his controversial remarks in GQ magazine regarding homosexuality.

A+E Networks, parent company of A&E, has released the following statement to Variety:

“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.”

The new protected class. If you say anything about the alternative life style, you get black-balled.

Well past time.

‘Duck Dynasty’: Phil Robertson Suspended Indefinitely Following Gay Remarks

It was only a matter or time before the family's morals caught the network's attention - and having gone four seasons, there's enough "in the can" to syndicate the series and not renew it.

I'm laughing, because the suspension is getting annouced after the market's close, so that it doesn't affect Walmart's stock price!

I hope his entire family simple says they will not do the show without him. Let them CHOKE on that!

Left wing fascism at its worst.

The left cannot tolerate any dissent from their orthodoxy, can they?

No way the rest of the family will stand for that, but unfortunately that is exactly what the left wanted. The show to be off the air.

Most definitely not.

So what A&E is saying if you don't believe the way they believe you're going to be canceled. So much for free speech. It died a long time ago.
