'Duck Dynasty': A&E warned Phil Robertson about speaking out too much [W:1111]

Whose fault is that. They are on every network TV show mow. It is mandatory to have an interracial couple as well as at least on gay character on every show.

Even if you wanted to avoid gays, there is no way to if you turn on a TV.

Yeah, isn't that awful? Heterosexual couples are everywhere. On the streets, on busses, in restaurants, on TV; you just can't get away from them. Seems mandatory to have them on every show. And the all-white couples! yeesh. Thrown in my face. Even if I want to avoid straights, I just can't do it.
 
Funny. Gays don't seem to cross my path much, unless we're talking about distant relatives of mine or the wife. Maybe it's because we don't watch TV much and rarely do anything except ride bikes and take our dog to the park.

My wife occasionally watches Real Housewives, and I hear a gay guy hosts that show. He is an obnoxious PITA, from what I can tell, but so is the show. I don't blame that on Gays...unless you blame Reality TV on them. Maybe that is why Phil is so obsessed with them.


Interesting that you don't run across them much (that you know of). I hate to say "some of my best friends are...." but we were just out to lunch with friends yesterday; a married couple, both female. When Prop 8 was on the ballot, I gave money to the anti-Prop 8 side whenever I had another friend get married in a same sex marriage... cost me some money! And I've of course worked with LGBTs over the years, including now. I used to be pretty active with NOW, so of course got to be friends with lesbians, as well as straight women.

TV-wise, unfortunately, I don't see as many; but happened to notice at the end of "Strictly Ballroom" that in the big dance scene there were female dance couples.

Remember Uhura and Kirk kissing on "Star Trek"? it was the first inter-racial kiss on TV. The more we see inter-racial couples and same sex couples on TV, the less bigotry will be around.

Also, of course, having friends and relatives come out of the closet has really helped society become more accepting and less bigoted.
 
‘Duck Dynasty’ creator Scott Gurney starred in indie ‘gay porn’ film

The producer and creator of the A&E show “Duck Dynasty” once starred in a dark, homoerotic indie film about the gay porn industry called “The Fluffer.”

BuzzFeed reported Friday that in 2001, Scott Gurney played a “gay-for-pay” meth addict who acts in erotic videos. The film premiered that year at the Toronto Film Festival.

“The Fluffer” revolved around the destructive relationship between Gurney’s character and a gay college student — played by Michael Cunio — employed to keep Gurney aroused on set during filming.

I probably meet gays all the time, but unlike the Righties here, I don't really pay it any mind.

Yeah, people are people... what they do in the bedroom doesn't concern me....

I remember an incident one time - friends of mine (lesbian couple) were walking down the street together. A street guy started yelling to one of them "Hey! Hey! SHE" (pointing to the other one) "Is a lesbian!!!"

cracked us all up. What did he think the one he was talking to was? And why did anyone care?

I've been cycling with my then-boyfriend, now husband, and had guys drive by and call him fag... Now there is NO WAY they can't tell I'm female. So funny they jump to that assumption because he was in cycling clothes... as opposed jumping to the conclusion he was straight because he was riding with a woman.

Lesson: don't jump to assumptions...

I am sorry you didn't understand the point.

The point is you are a bigot; because you don't like gays/lesbians, you want them to hide away in shame.

Glad the rest of the country is changing or has changed already!

Did my point get you to see just how bigoted you are? What if we said such things about heterosexuals? how would YOU feel?

I wrote a paper in high school for an English class. .... IVF had been perfected, so no one had to have sex to have babies, so everyone reverted back to what they preferred - which was gay/lesbian.

Pretty forward looking for 1979, huh?

(wow, did I just date myself? ...(grin))

Are you asserting that the natural inclination of sexual preferences for humans is to homosexual?

Did you read the context? it was a story I wrote in high school. I doubt it is true, but it's a fun thing to consider!

Marge Piercy book gave a woman at the end a choice of things to avoid the problems that were going on in society due to male/female dynamics...Was it Marge Piercy? darn, can't find it out.

ANYWAY one choice was to all become female, becoming male only when reproduction was necessary. Kind of lizard people, which was another species of humans in the book.

I was rooting for the woman being able to choose whether to become pregnant or not...

Anyway, having us all be gay/lesbian would take care of some problems! don't you enjoy speculating about things like that? I do!

I have no problem with gays. Where did you get the idea I did?

Please tell me why 3% of the population is represented on 100% of the TV shows.

It is because the Hollywood crowd doesn't want to piss off anybody.

You can't deny that for a lot of people gay people are not part of their life.

100 percent of TV shows have gay characters? That's interesting. Also not remotely close to being true, but interesting nonetheless.

I would say you are right about gays not being part of a lot of peoples lives. Around where I was born and where I live now I would imagine 99% of the people never even met a gay person and if they had, they wouldn't know it. When talking gay issue here you are talking about something way over the horizon or in Atlanta. Gay issues mean nothing to these folks.
