Duck Dynasty's Phil Robertson has been banned from the show by A&E until further notice after expressing his views that Homosexuality is a sin.

In the upcoming issue of GQ magazine, Robertson paraphrases the Bible by stating "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."

The Duck Dynasty founder also mentioned his views on what he felt was appropriate for men and woman to be attracted to.

"It seems like, to me, a [expletive] as a man-would be more desirable than a man's [expletive]. 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."

GLAAD's (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation) spokesman Wilson Cruz objects to Robertson's comments stating, "Phil and his family claim to be Christian, but Phil's lies about an entire community fly in the face of what true Christians believe. He clearly knows nothing about gay people or the majority of Louisianans - and Americans - who support legal recognition for loving and committed gay and lesbian couples. Phil's decision to push vile and extreme stereotypes is a stain on A&E and his sponsors who now need to reexamine their ties to someone with such public disdain for LGBT people and families."

However, thousands of Duck Dynasty fans showed their support for the "Duck Commander" last night by creating a Facebook page called "We Stand With Phil." The Duck Dynasty's Patriarch was also trending on Twitter with the hashtag "#StandWithPhil" late last night.

The Duck Dynasty show has been a ratings bonanza for the A&E network, and is expected to return for its fifth season on January 15.
