Duck Dynasty Phil Robertson Gay Comments Issue to Be Used In Texas Demonstration Against Censorship Tonight

There will be Duck Dynasty demonstration regarding the issue of censorship planned at the Lubbock City Council meeting tonight.

After being told by city leaders in December that their Texas town will cease to air unforeseen public commentaries on the city's cable station, approximately 10 people signed up to voice against censorship at tonight's council meeting at 6:15 p.m. at Lubbock City Hall.

"They're trying to take away our forum - we have our own little "Duck Dynasty" right here in Lubbock," said Burley Owen to Lubbock Online.

Owen was discussing the topical argument on censorship that exploded when "Duck Dynasty" star Phil Robertson was temporarily suspended by A&E after expressing his views that homosexuality is a sin in GQ magazine.

"We know it may be a little over the top, but we need to be aggressive," said Owen revealing that he and other protesters will dress up as the Duck Dynasty stars.

Mayor Glen Robertson (no relations to the Duck Dynasty's Robertson family) says he heard about the strategic attempt.

"The problem we've got is that people are talking about items that are not related to the city and, sometimes, verbally abusing council members and there's nothing we can say to respond because they're not talking about issues that are posted on the agenda," said Mayor Robertson.

Tonight's scheduled public remarks originated almost a month ago when 18 citizens, one by one, conveyed their fear for "censoring" the community's opinion by eliminating the public remark segment from the council meetings' program on Channel 2.

Eliminating the segment from the program was not a judgment made by the council, said Mayor Robertson in the past to A-J Media, but is instead a 2005 decree that had not been imposed.

"We just need to make sure we've got an environment where we can conduct city business," said Robertson revealing the council's may be open to changing its policy of listening to public remarks. "Comments really need to be about city business."
