I wonder if there's someone at A&E that knew about the contents of the interview before it was published.

I think their niche is men who care about fashion and high society and stuff, but don't want to come right out and say they're gay.

I think this is simply a matter of A&E trying to be PC and having a popular backlash that made them change their mind. Who would have guessed that given the type viewers the show draws.
To me the larger issue is the knee jerk PC reaction. These days "political correctness" seemd to overshadow freedom of thought and expression."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic. We should stand up and say we are Americans and we have a right to debate and disagree with any administration." - Hillary Clinton, 2003

While I also agree that it has gotten out of hand, you don't have to be a genius to figure out that almost no matter what you say, you're going to piss someone off. So if you can't afford to do that you should probably be more careful about the stuff that comes out of your mouth.
But here, he could afford to piss off some people and will likely benefit from it.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

It'll be interesting to see the long term effects once the people who only just came out the woodwork for political reasons all go back to not watching it because it's reality TV.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

I hear that Phil Robertson got a masters in "education" and was a teacher. I suspect from the same university as Ben.Scouse Git (2) La Fayette Adam Smith Solomwi and Loinburger will not be forgotten.

Thousands of gay people around the world every year are viciously, physically attacked, beaten, and even killed because their attackers have heard over and over how gay people are an abomination and that our so-called "lifestyle" goes against the Bible, Torah, Koran, or what have you.
What Phil had said was grossly irresponsible and bigoted. When we don't speak out against expressed bigoted opinions, then we are basically condoning violent crimes against gay people.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
