Duck Dynasty anti-gay remarks go viral: Phil Robertson says homosexuality is sinful, 'vagina' always more desirable, claims to 'never treat anyone with disrespect' after uproar

GQ magazine recently conducted a thorough interview with the stars of A&E's hit reality show "Duck Dynasty." And God-fearing hunstman Phil Robertson had some rather controversial things to say about homosexuality...

Robertson explains, "We're Bible-thumpers who just happened to end up on television. You put in your article that the Robertson family really believes strongly that if the human race loved each other and they loved God, we would just be better off." 

He then goes 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 goes on to paraphrased Corinthians 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." 

And just to put things into better perspective, Robertson claims, "It seems like, to me, a vagina - as a man - would be more desirable than a man's anus... She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes... But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical."

Oh, my. (Read the full interview here).

Gay Rights activists were NOT happy with Robertson's remarks. GLAAD released this statement through spokesman Wilson Cruz:

"Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans - and Americans - who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families." 

Robertson later went on to (sort of) apologize in this statement released through A&E:

"I myself am a product of the 60s; I centered my life around sex, drugs and rock and roll until I hit rock bottom and accepted Jesus as my Savior. My mission today is to go forth and tell people about why I follow Christ and also what the bible teaches, and part of that teaching is that women and men are meant to be together. However, I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me. We are all created by the Almighty and like Him, I love all of humanity. We would all be better off if we loved God and loved each other."
