Go Phil!!!!!
Why is A&E's opinions and actions more troubling than the judge's opinion in post #13?
I don't care what he said because his opinion is his. Period. If someone does not agree with him they should just move along and be open minded about about his statement and the whole freedom of speech thing. Our society just can't leave this kind of stuff alone; and I don't mean only gay folks. Some folks drive Chevy, some drive Ford and some folks Ram it, yes pun intended. The point this, NO ONE SHOULD CARE! And you shouldn't be offended by Mr. Robertson's statements just like you shouldn't be offended every time a gay person reminds you, in some way, that they are gay. It just does not matter enough for folks to get all jacked up about it.

It already is more true than we (want to) believe. It is not even a question of remaining neutral - it is acceptable and lauded if you openly praise homosexuality whereas if you express disapproval, even if you can truthfully say that you do not want to see any kind of legal prohibitions, but simply disapprove of behavior then you are a bigot/legit target/neanderthal and certainly unfit to teach, hold offices of public trust, serve or lead in the military, etc. It is here friend.
That's what I am saying! What the hell happened with free speech?
Freedom of speech does not grant immunity from consequences.
The rest of this is a general statement not directed specifically towards you.
I don't agree with what he said, I think it's ignorant and even suggesting that homosexuality leads to bestiality is offensive and insulting, and I'm not gay or into sheep.
However much I disagree with his opinion, I support his right to have it. I'm indifferent on A&E's actions simply because it's their network, their contract, their rules.
The biggest thing about all of this that confuses me is when Chick Fill A and Hobby Lobby stand up for what they believe in, the majority of Christian conservatives stand up and applause. Yet, when A&E does the same, it's boycott time! You have a right to boycott for any reason you like, but it seems a bit hypocritical when doing so for reasons you supported just months ago. So, do you support a company standing up for what they believe in or don't ya? Or is this only a one-way road when that company's beliefs align with your religious ideology?
