Its funny how society has turned out the way it has. On one hand, you have someone who says their opinion about gays and how it goes against his religion and beliefs. For that, he is reprimanded. On the other hand, you have celebrities who are dead against killing animals (PETA) for food or clothing which is part of some cultures. Apparently that is alright to express their opinion and to change ones culture. So what makes it ok for one and not the other? IMO, it comes down to the " The squeaky wheel gets the grease." If you're loud and proud, its okay to express yourself. If you fall under the other spectrum, HOW DARE you say anything against them. Its complete bullchit in the end. Where is the line and why should one opinion be accepted while someone else's opinion not be? Political correctiveness and the people that throw it around like candy are a bunch of fascists.

In case one might not know what Fascism means
a way of organizing a society in which a government ruled by a dictator controls the lives of the people and in which people are not allowed to disagree with the government








yup... just look at the human rights tribunals

High school can be a tough place for awkward teenagers to fit in, and being gay would make that even tougher.
Which is the rationale behind gay-straight alliances — student clubs set up to normalize being gay.
Same idea behind pink shirt day, which was in February.
But what about freedom of religion, specifically for schools that teach Bible-based sexual morality?
Of course, no one should be bullied at any school, for being gay or anything else.
But should Catholic schools be forced to positively affirm homosexuality?
Isn’t commanding a Catholic school to let same-sex couples go to the prom sort of like ordering a Jewish school to serve pork in the cafeteria?
This question was answered with a sledgehammer last June in Ontario, when that province passed the Accepting Schools Act.
So now the Archbishop of Toronto oversees a Catholic school system that, to quote the law, must be “more equitable and inclusive for all people, including LGBTTIQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, transsexual, two-spirited, intersex, queer and questioning) people.”
LGBTTIQ and intersexed. Those are words now.
But what about Muslim schools?
Will they be asked to put the Qur’an second and “transgender acceptance” first?
The Valley Park Middle School in Toronto hasn’t. It’s not even a Muslim school — just a public school with a lot of Muslim students.
But each Friday, the cafeteria is handed over to a Muslim imam to lead weekly prayers. What makes the school’s mosqueteria even more remarkable is that students are segregated: Boys sit in the front, girls sit in the back, and girls who are menstruating are told to sit at the far back.
Do you think the Valley Park Middle School has a gay-straight alliance?
Do you think if one of the boys in that cafeteria announced he was two-spirited, and wanted to sit with the girls, that he’d be “accepted”?
Or, look to another province, the Edmonton Islamic Academy that claims to be the biggest Muslim school in North America.
It’s run by the Al-Rashid mosque, whose clerics often visit to give lectures in shariah law. Including on the subject of homosexuality.
Here’s a transcript of some comments made by Sheikh Mustafa Khattab of Al-Rashid. He’s proud of his lectures at the school — he puts videos of them on the Internet.
Like this one: “The worst thing about the west is too much freedom … Homosexuality is against everything. It is against Akhlaq (moral values). It is against nature or the way we are created … For me, someone who is homosexual is like someone who has diabetes or someone who has cancer or AIDS … Personally, I don’t like to be associated with them.”
The video then shows Khattab doing a little dramatic acting. He pretends he was sitting next to someone gay, and he awkwardly shuffles away from them, saying, “I was sitting next to the guy, I just moved my chair.
“I didn’t feel comfortable sitting next to this guy.”
The students love it, and burst out laughing.
Now, many people share Khattab’s views — not just fundamentalist Muslims.
He did not preach capital punishment for gays, as the Qur’an prescribes and as countries like Iran do. But he led his students in a good mocking laugh at gays — and compared being gay to having cancer.
We believe in freedom of religion in Canada. The Edmonton Islamic Academy has received millions of dollars of taxpayers money, including from gay taxpayers, but then again so have Catholic schools (though it’s hard to imagine a Catholic school teacher laughing at gays and comparing homosexuality to cancer).
What is so curious, though, is why Canada’s anti-bullying squads are practically dispatching the national guard to escort gay couples to the prom at Catholic schools, but don’t dare whisper a word of concern about the Edmonton Islamic Academy or the Valley Park Middle School or a dozen others.
It’s the politically correct pecking order.
To politicians, gays trump Christians.
But Muslims trump gays.

Of course this issue has nothing to do with the Government so much as a private corporation disciplining a contractor for saying something that they figure damages their brand.

why is "gay" so often used as an insult? Its actually funny how bent out of shape people get over this. It's like people just sit on their couches all upset like "ugghh......i'm so angry.......people are gay". It doesn't effect your life even a little bit! Doesn't matter what religion you are, sexuality or skin color......just don't be an a$$hole and nobody will bother you lol

Here is an interesting article i found on what he said... i don't see it being that bad if you listen to the whole thing... yes i know articles cut out what they want... but he said enough for me...

This drew my attention because I wanted to know just what Phil said that made A&E so suddenly anti-Duck Dynasty. Here it is:
“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.” Paraphrasing Corinthians he added: “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 made a quick suspension of Robertson after reading this because they are a loyal LGBT supporter. They were “disappointed” to see Phil’s comments expressed in the way that they were, but were also strongly influenced by LGBT groups to ban the dynasty from TV. But where I’m a little confused is where the blame is placed on Phil’s statement. It wasn’t just about homosexuality, it was about the other forms of sexual sin, too. And then Phil went even farther to use a paraphrase of scripture to explain how sin is ruining our culture. Why did A&E have to pick out the homosexuality piece? Probably because that’s what the media decided to pick on, to morph into the next Hollywood “hype.” Phil also went on to say this:
“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.”
Not only did he admit his own sins, but he gives a reasonable explanation as to why he said what he said. That doesn’t sound like he is targeting, harassing, or “” any one group to me. His next statement supports that too:
“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.”
Huh. Aren’t we all entitled to our own opinion? Aren’t we allowed to express our views whether we are Christian, Buddhist, or Atheist? Whether we are pro or anti homosexuality? The truth is that Phil didn’t even directly put down homosexuals or degrade them in any way. He simply stated his own opinion on the matter. Why does it seem that one side holds all the “rights” to what is acceptable and what isn’t? What’s worse is the pressure A&E gets from people like Wilson Cruz who say things like this:
“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,” said GLAAD rep Wilson Cruz.
Wait? What do true Christians believe? I think that is more direct, targeted attack on a group than Robertson even made to homosexuals. What does Cruz expect of true Christians? That sin isn’t a big deal? That the Bible’s content doesn’t matter? That Christians aren’t their beliefs? That is an interesting statement Mr. Cruz. In the end, Phil finishes with this:
“All you have to do is look at any society where there is no Jesus. I’ll give you four: Nazis, no Jesus. Look at their record. Uh, Shintos? They started this thing in Pearl Harbor. Any Jesus among them? None. Communists? None. Islamists? Zero. That’s 80 years of ideologies that have popped up where no Jesus was allowed among those four groups. Just look at the records as far as murder goes among those four groups.”
I think Phil is right on in his statement and hasn’t done anything wrong in his opinions. A world without Jesus is scary. Everyone has an opinion and are entitled to it. Unfortunately, the parties that exist on both sides of the opinion have a hard time respecting and understanding each other.
I commend Phil for standing up for Jesus. I commend him for saying he doesn’t hate people because they’re different, and that he just has an opinion on things like everyone else–his aligns with the Bible. I commend him for being real and honest within his platform. I congratulate him for doing what many fail to do, and that’s standing up for what you believe in.
Going Deeper:What do you think about Phil’s comments? Were they right or wrong of a true Christian? Would you do the same or would you operate differently?
**If your interested in reading 4 lessons I’ve learned from the Duck Dynasty craze, my own article and the crazy response it has gotten, read about it .**

All them fags are way to sensitive, im not a gay fan nor do I think it is right either to be gay. Something in the brain is ass backwards for a person to be gay that's for sure....... maybe they were conceived on a Monday like a faulty sled that had a build date on a Monday, just not gonna be the same or as good as everybody's sled of the same year.......lol.... reminder no conceiving babies on Monday, you have a 25% chance of making a gay baby......lol. If they punt Phil because of that, there will be no more A&E for this guy

I have no use for faggots and lesbos. Not the people themselves but more their actions. I have a lesbian in the extended family and let me tell you is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. That's real life gayness... Not your fantasy world boys. *Shivers... shudder... ugh!
