“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.”

I stand with Phil Robertson. He told the unvarnished truth about what the Creator of the Universe thinks of homosexuality, and Robertson is being punished for it. The demographic that watches Duck Dynasty believes what Robertson said: homosexuality is a grave sin, condemned by God, and none who practice it will enter the Kingdom of God.

A+E probably considers Phil’s statements to violate the standard “morals clause”.

Boy, that’s some SERIOUS irony!

Probably just the one character. A lot of these reality family shows have family members who you don’t see because they didn’t want to be on television. What they’ll do is change the situation a little and hope people won’t notice.

Rose Bowl Float???

OK - Consummate on the float, on National TV after the ceremony.

Let’s get this Progressivism where it wants to go!

I’m tired of this incremental fooling around.

I’m curious about the contract they signed.

What penalty do the other family members face for not agreeing to make the show going forward?

At what point are they free to sign elsewhere, some years in the future?

CMT is owned by MTV, so that won’t happen.

Ain't going to happen, the end of every episode is a prayer lead by Phil.

The family will not stand for him to be missing.

A & E should really support the homosexuals and have a series dedicated to showing homosexuals having sex. They all like to talk about it, but none of them like to think about it.

Their problem's not with Phil. It's with Jesus Christ!

Revelation 22:14-15

Matthew 5:11-12

"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you."

Stay 'Happy, Happy, Happy' Mr. Robertson. God Bless.

A jewel in Phil's crown.

I'll miss the show but good for him for standing up for something.

“I hope A&E crashes and burns with this decision.”

A&E is owned by NBC Entertainment, Disney, and Hearst, a virtual queer media trifecta.

Losing money is the LAST thing they care about, if it harms the Gay Agenda.
