“Everyone needs to leave Phil Robertson alone for expressing his beliefs. I think it’s so hypocritical how the LGBT community expects every single flippen person to agree with their life style,” Bristol Palin wrote in a blog post titled “Leave Phil Robertson Alone.” “This flies in the face of what makes America great — people can have their own beliefs and own opinions and their own ways of life. Everyone needs to treat others like God would, with love. It goes both ways. I hate how the LGBT community says it’s all about ‘love’ and ‘equality.’ However, if you don’t agree with their lifestyle, they spread the most hate. It is so hypocritical it makes my stomach turn. They need to learn how to respect others’ opinions and not just jump to the conclusion that everyone who doesn’t support homosexuality and gay marriage is homophobic. They take the easy way out every time anyone speaks out about their beliefs on the Bible. If I were Duck Dynasty, I would take my show to another channel. So much disrespect.”
Everyone needs to treat others like God would, with love? So Phil Robertson expressing his hatred toward the queer community is treating each other like God would? Calling us filth and sinners and comparing us to people who fuck animals is godly behaviour? Bristol, if you deal with “hate” from gays it’s because your opinions are based on ignorance and prejudice. Our sexuality is not a “lifestyle.” Summering in the fucking Hamptons is a lifestyle. Being gay is a (fabulous) condition. One given to us by the same God who is embarrassed he also made you.
