The head of the “Duck Dynasty” clan has been suspended from the popular A&E show after his comments to GQ magazine comparing homosexuality to bestiality sparked outrage in the gay community.
“It seems like, to me, a vagina — as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus. That’s just me,” Phil Robertson says in the January issue. “But hey, sin: It’s not logical, my man. It’s just not logical.”
When the reporter asked Robertson what he found sinful, he said “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.”
The network said Wednesday night that Robertson was placed on hiatus from filming “indefinitely.”
“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,” the company said.
