Now, because these outlandish claims were on Facebook and my guess was no one had read the actual GQ Interview, I went ahead and did my homework. And guess what I found out? Phil Robertson isn't too bright. But before I get ahead of myself, I want to go through the GQ article step by step.
The first, and possibly most, important thing Phil says in the interview is a quote that hopefully most people interested in the so called "scandal" have seen. It's the one about, without getting too anatomically specific, in what ways women are more desirable than men, and how illogical it would be to be homosexual.
“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.”So there that is. It's not necessarily a pleasant comment, but it's not anywhere close to the anti-Semitic tirades that Mel Gibson went on. However, this comment was apparently unprompted. I'm not sure if it can be attributed to bad journalism on the part of the article's author, Drew Magary, or if Robertson just said it out of the blue. But this quote seems to be what people are risking their Facebook social lives on.
