Duck Dynasty star: Gays are going to hell is ‘what the Bible says’ [View all]

Willie Robertson, star of the reality television series Duck Dynasty, has defended anti-LGBT comments made by his father, agreeing gay and lesbian people are sinners who will not go to heaven because the Bible is literal.

In a recent interview, CNN’s Kyra Phillips asked Willie Robertson to “clear the air” about comments his father, Phil Robertson, had made last year.

The patriarch of A&E’s hit show had opined at the time that “a vagina—as a man—would be more desirable than a man’s anus.”

“Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there,” was his explanation of sin to GQ magazine. “Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men.”

Phil Robertson added: “Don’t be deceived. Neither the adulterers, the idolaters, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, the greedy, the drunkards, the slanderers, the swindlers—they won’t inherit the kingdom of God. Don’t deceive yourself. It’s not right.”

Willie Robertson did not repudiate his father remarks in the interview that was aired on Wednesday, but accused GQ magazine of having an agenda.
