“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.”
– A gay University of Louisiana at Monroe student, about anti-gay statements made by Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson, which may seem easy to dismiss as daffy rantings, but have had serious harmful ripple effects. Read more on The Raw Story site.
Yes, this is the sad result from the ravings of a lunatic. However the student has his wits about him, will become a minister and will teach the word of Jesus. I am starting to believe that this whole incident is just another media A&E and the Robertsons) manufactured event to move Ducky Die-nasty products at Christmas time. I wouldn’t out it past them. Last Friday afternoon, A&E gave in to the Robertson family and its supporters and ended the suspension. All the posturing before Christmas got the far out right shopping for their DD toys.
This was crisis management at its finest, with handsome profit for all. It was the same game Hallmark played in November with the sale of the ‘Don we now our gay/fun apparel’ sweater ornament. A&E and DD just played their audience like suckers. Well done corporate America, the stocking were stuffed with cash.
