I'm gay and I don't agree with Phil, but he has a right to his believes…it's not hate-based…it's religious…misdirected, but his right

A&E – outrageous for suspending Phil. They knew his beliefs when they hired him..he was ON VIDEO. A&E has a litmus test on what we can say

Phil Robertson is not a 'victim of political correctness'. He's a victim of his own repulsively racist, homophobic bigotry. #DuckDynasty
