A star of one of America's most popular television programmes has been dropped by its broadcaster after describing gay people as "homosexual offenders".
Phil Robertson, who appears on the reality show Duck Dynasty, was placed on "indefinite hiatus" by the A+E network, after his remarks were published in an interview with GQ magazine.
Describing "sin" as "not logical," he said: "Start with homosexual behaviour and just morph out from there. Bestiality, sleeping around with this woman and that woman and that woman and those men."
The lavishly-bearded 67-year-old has a leading role in the Louisiana-based programme, which is the most-watched reality show and second-most-watched show of any kind on US cable television. » | Jon Swaine, New York | Thursday, December 19, 2013
