Yup, and those that are "wierded out" by it and are "Christian", like Phil Robertson, will turn to what the Bible says about it and call it a sin since that gives them an "out". There are, however, both Christian and non Christian that are NOT tolerant of gays like Phil Robertson has stated he is.

It seems like you are finally agreeing with what I have been saying all along. The guy is homophobic and using the bible to try to justify his views.

If that's what you want to take from all this, have at her. Just shows how all you can do is skim the surface of an issue that runs a lot deeper.

That is pretty much the meat of the issue. What else exactly do you want to draw my attention to?

Well put.

Not really. People see this as a right/left issue. It isn't really. There is money to be made by hard done by "minorities". People on both sides of the political spectrum play the victim card when it suits their purpose.

Duck Dynasty’ star Phil Robertson: Marry 15 or 16-year-old girls

NEW YORK - Phil Robertson is in hot water again after fancying himself a marriage counselor.
Video footage of the reinstated “Duck Dynasty” star urging attendees at a 2009 Christian retreat to tie the knot with high school age girls of 15 or 16 years old went viral this week.
The main advantage of marrying a woman so young is that she is more willing to pick a husband’s ducks than an older woman with a valid driver’s license or the ability to legally drink. No, picking ducks is not sexual innuendo - Robertson built his fortune in the duck hunting game and those birds need plucking.
“These boys are waiting until they get to be about 20 years old before they marry ‘em,” Robertson notes in the video. “Look, you wait until they get to be 20 years old, the only picking that’s going to take place is your pocket.”
Robertson, who has a 16-year old granddaughter, does say that they should have parental permission to get hitched. He knows firsthand the virtues of getting the wedding out of the way before prom. He married his wife Marsha “Kay” Carroway when she was 16.
In the video, Robertson also offered a “river rat“ counseling, saying, “Make sure that she can cook a meal. You need to eat some meals that she cooks, check that outMake sure she carries her Bible. That’ll save you a lot of trouble down the road. And if she picks your ducks, now, that’s a woman. They got to where they’re getting hard to find.”
The latest controversy comes after Robertson was briefly suspended from his hit A&E reality show for a GQ interview in which he likened homosexuality to bestiality and said that black cotton pickers he knew in the pre-Civil Rights era South were happy.
“Duck Dynasty” stars Willie and Korie Robertson will discuss the blowback from Robertson’s comments during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s All-American New Year special.
