For those who don't know, Duck Dynasty is a reality TV show about rednecks having more money than they know what to do with. Phil is one of the elders of the show, though he's more of a side character. There has been news on youtube about him saying he doesn't understand why someone would be gay, and it's a slippery slope to bestiality, and it's not god's way. He got suspended from the show.
Now some people might be cheering, but personally I don't see a huge deal. It's not like this kind of thing comes up on the show. He's an elderly christian man, living in the bible belt. Why would the fact that he's against homosexuality surprise anyone? Sure he said some wrong things, but I doubt he's the only one on the show who holds this view. Duck Dynasty would probably be off the air if they got all of them together and asked their opinion on the subject.
I don't think he should have been suspended, unless the whole cast comes on and says they're totally for homosexual relationships. It seems a bit harsh. The company behind the show should have just stated the obvious, that one cast member's opinion doesn't always coincide with the views of the company, and leave it at that.
I like the show, and hope to see him back. What do you guys think?
