A closeted gay student living in West Monroe, Louisiana has written a powerful essay, criticizing the town's most famous residents - Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson.
Robertson made headlines after issuing homophobic comments in a GQ article, at one point comparing gay sex to bestiality, which got him put on suspension by the A&E network. But the network announced yesterday that they would be reinstating Robertson to the show, who so far has remained unapologetic about the comments.
In an essay posted on Times-Picuyne columnist Robert Mann's blog, the communications student writes that Robertson probably didn't mean to hurt anyone with his statements, he nonetheless created a hostile environment.
'He encouraged - hopefully unintentionally - a two-week-long "fag bashing" in Monroe and around the world. He made me feel unsafe in my own home. I can't count how many times I heard "faggot" over the Christmas visit home.'

He’s gonna need a bigger crock.
This kid should go visit Iran, they actually KILL gays over there
Gees I am on oldster and have not heard the the word Fag mentioned in years. To bad it is still not used to actually describe this whiny kid!
Correct. Contrary to the liberals, Phil Robertson (nor other conservatives) did not compare bestiality to homosexuality. Pointing out that redefining the legal definition of marriage could lead to open acceptance of bestiality is not the same as saying that the two practices are the same thing.
The liberals know that. They just use the accusation to shut down debate.
When I was that age, not only was I not allowed to bring a girl over the house but I had to be home when the street lights came on. I guess I was really oppressed!
If you take Phil at his words, yep:
Bush’s Fault
When I was 12 I was NOT thinking about “messing” around with the opposite sex....in fact, at 13 their was a boy who wanted to be my “boyfriend”....I kinda told him....we’re too young...
their = there
Is heterophobic a word? Maybe it should be.
Wah, wah, wah...I seriously cannot ate much more.
Hey, kid!
You make the change. You decide your ostracism, not me, not Phil!
Ummm, “take” much more.
If he is “a closeted gay student”, then who knew enough to persecute him?
I think I was about 12 or 13 when I very first heard of the whole concept of “homosexuality.” It took another year or two before I actually ‘believed’ it, though, as the whole notion struck me as too perverted and gross to even be legitimately conceivable! Now, it’s being taught in kindergarten!
America has become quite the dark, evil place.
Given the amount of fear the television generated in his own home I’d shoot it, cut its power, disassemble it completely and bury it in the back yard.
And, if at all possible, nuke it from space...
It's quite possible this 12-year-old boy is declaring himself a homosexual because it's "trendy" and will get him special treatment in school. If so, it's an indication of the depravity of our culture - that we would allow such a young kid to be indoctrinated into the homosexual community.
It’s such a complex lie that two authors were needed.
“people not approving of your perversion is not oppression”
Governments forcing bakers to support gay marriages against their religious beliefs is oppression.
Individuals saying, “I don’t agree with you” is just life...but the gays I’ve met have been the meanest and angriest people I’ve known. They seek offense like a bee seeks honey...
“He made me feel unsafe in my own home.”
No, he didn’t. He told you his opinion. He never threatened you or did anything to make you actually unsafe. You need to man up.
