Just wondering what people's thoughts are on this topic.
A&E suspends 'Duck Dynasty' star over remarks on homosexuality
The suspension comes after a profile piece appeared in GQ in which Robertson told the magazine that he does not support homosexuality, calling it illogical and a sin.
"[A woman has] more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."
Robertson went on to say "Everything is blurred on what's right and what's wrong. Sin becomes fine."
"Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men," he told the magazine before paraphrasing a portion of 1 Corinthians 6 from the Bible.
"Don't be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers — they won't inherit the kingdom of God. Don't deceive yourself. It's not right."
A&E said Robertson is "under hiatus from filming indefinitely."
I am all for gay rights but I also believe in freedom of speech and that people should be allowed to voice their opinions whether they are famous or not.
I recall A&E tried telling the characters of the show that they couldn't pray at the end. Each episode ends with the family around the dinner table saying a prayer. The family said if God wasn't allowed in their show they would no longer do it. A&E agreed to that......
