Am I the ONLY person who has never watched an episode of Duck Dynasty? I'm just frustrated because dozens of folks on my facebook newsfeed have Photos of this guy in the place of their regular photos and now I can't just look at the photo to know who said what.. I have to read the names on every post. LOL
I could say that a while back, but, I got curious
and watched a snippett of an episode on youtube.
Not a show I would watch all the time, and I'm not sure which one is which, but, I'm glad Phil did stand up for a law of the Bible.

They all start out with requests for calling and emails, but in the back pocket lies the boycott, ready to be whipped out.

LOL! I have seen a few. I don't have the patience to sit through a whole episode. My husband likes them like he does Tim Allen in Last Man Standing - they don't act like sissies. Something hard to find in entertainment these days. And you don't have the women taking the lead like most of the cop, detective shows, etc.
I really like this article. This, IMO, is more important that acting militant about it.
“Duck Dynasty”: Let’s Deal in Real Reality
This doesn’t mean we should bury our heads in the sand about genuine free speech and free exercise violations in our theoretically free nation; it just means we ought to be more circumspect than reactionary, more wise than whiny, more joyful than outraged. As “reality” just got the ironic quote-marks taken off of it, maybe this cultural shifting will serve towards a sifting of the “real” Christians from the real ones, the cultural from the Spiritual. Evangelicals need to get real.
I know you are all waiting for the Voice of Reason, so here I am.
1. This is not a First Amendment issue. No private entity is obligated to provide a platform for free speech.
2. It was probably unwise (though perfectly legal) of Discovery to boot the guy, but this remains to be seen. My prediction: they will let him back on the show.
3. You don't want to know what my opinion of his opinion is. (Though, of course, you probably do know. ) And, of course, AFF is not obligated to provide a platform for my opinion.

It might not technically be a 1st Amendment issue, but it certainly is a violation of anti-discriminatory laws.
I'd have to read their contract, but I do know that Phil has spoken up about the producers not wanting them to use Jesus' name so as not to offend. They have left that in, so there isn't any discrimination on the producers part to continue allowing it. His quoting scripture is anti-discriminatory and follows closely, in the opposite direction, the Cake Baker who was forced to provide cakes for gay weddings.
We will have to see how all of this plays out. If the Duck Boys handle this right, it could be a huge game changer.
I think Phil sort of did compare homosexuality to promiscuity and bestiality, but I don't really care that he did. He said, "Everything is blurred on what’s right and what’s wrong… Sin becomes fine. Start with homosexual behavior and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."
I also like what he said about sin not being logical, but the quote is too explicit to post here. (found at the same link you posted)

1) Every employer is required to abide by the Civil Rights Act, which includes safeguards against religious discrimination. Robertson was suspended or fired for quoting a Bible verse and giving his personal, religious views. That is illegal.
2) It wasn't Discovery, it was A&E, but who cares; you're right, they "acted stupidly" (to coin an obama phrase) and had a knee-jerk reaction instead of making a calculated decision.
3) It may still be a free country with free speech, unless said speech is personal or religious beliefs against a certain, very small, but very vocal percentage of America.
