Perhaps the show is more fittingly named than anyone knew. Duck DyNASTY.
GQ did an interview with Phil Robertson, star of the show. In it he compared being gay to bestiality and made other such comments.
“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. 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.”
“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.”
“We never, ever judge someone on who’s going to heaven, hell. That’s the Almighty’s job. We just love ‘em, give ‘em the good news about Jesus—whether they’re homosexuals, drunks, terrorists. We let God sort ‘em out later, you see what I’m saying?”
Sigh. "homosexuals, drunks, terrorists".
The one bright point of this is that A&E has placed him on “indefinite hiatus” because of this.

In semi-related news, I'm still lacking in a copy of The Hunger Gays, so I started something else. It's mighty spiffy and I'm 20% through it already, so if/when I get a copy of it, I'll be able to start it soon. I'm starting to think I won't get it though -- it's gotten the most awful reviews, so I think maybe the publisher has been burned enough and isn't seeking out more. Sad!
