‘Duck Dynasty’ star makes new anti-gay comments

A video of Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson making new anti-gay comments in his local church has leaked onto the web.

Duck Dynasty is a US cable reality  series that follows the lives of the Robertson family, who became wealthy from their family-operated business, Duck Commander, which sells duck-hunting merchandise.

Robertson has been notorious for his homophobic views ever since his comments in January’s issue of GQ, in which he said: “It seems like, to me, a vagina – as a man — would be more desirable than a man’s anus.”

In a speech made to his church last month (April), Robertson attempted to defend his remarks,  telling the congregation: “They were mad at me… because instead of acknowledging their sin, like you had better do, they rail against me for giving ‘em their truth about their sin. Don’t deceive yourselves. You want the verse? The news media didn’t even know it was a verse. They thought I was just mouthing off.”

The reality star, 68,  continued:

“Is homosexual behaviour a sin? Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Don’t be deceived. Neither the sexually immoral, neither the idolaters, nor adulterers, nor male prostitutes, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greedy, nor drunkards, not slanderers, not swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God.”
