i didn't know glaad had gotten backlash over it, tho. not that it matters, i doubt all homosexuals think glaad speaks for all them, any more than i think the national org for women speaks for me.
as i said above, i mentioned hate as part of a broader discussion, not about what phil said. if someone else categorized it as hate speech, you'll have to get clarity from them.
i think his comments were inappropriate, but that's just my opinion. i didn't watch duck dynasty before, i won't now, some la. yahoos opinions matter as much to me as my opinions matter to him-not a bit.

Here is an article about all the backlash GLAAD has received:

I agree with you that GLAAD does not speak for most gay people. As I said before, it reminds me of Jesse Jackson acting like he speaks on behalf of most black people.
By the way, here is the exact quote: ""It seems like, to me, a vagina -- as a man -- would be more desirable than a man's anus. That's just me. I'm just thinking: There's more there! She's got more to offer. I mean, come on, dudes! You know what I'm saying? But hey, sin: It's not logical, my man. It's just not logical," he's quoted as saying.
Asked what, in his mind, is sinful, Robertson replied: "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."
He was not saying that homosexuality turns into beastiality. I think some people mistakenly thought he said that. His use of the word "morph" was a little confusing. I don't think he used the correct word to convey what he was trying to say.
