Though I shouldn't presume to know the mind of another I just didn't believe that Robertson's comment made him a homophobe. Perhaps I read too much of my own beliefs into his comment.

I would also like to apologize to you for helping to hijack your thread.

Now.....Who thinks up these entertainment options for casinos? Better yet, who is making the decision to put them on their stage's and why?


1. I think it's great that you actually reflected on the topic. Most people are so set in their thinking that they refuse to even consider another viewpoint. Things have changed so much and so quickly in our communal thinking about gays that in 20 - 30 years they'll just be people.

2. Hijacking? No problem. I inadvertently created the controversy by calling them Lovable Homophobes.

3. How does something like this musical get Ok'd and why? I'm guessing the Rio is trying to latch on to an untapped demographic. There is no question Duck Dynasty has a loyal following.

I read the other day's QOD on the LVA about how Evil Dead The Musical 4D is very popular in Vegas while popular Broadway shows don't make it in Sin City. There's just no telling what people like in Vegas. Personally, I thought Cannibal - The Musical was a great show and I strictly avoided seeing Phantom of the Opera.

Perhaps there is an underserved population which enjoys the entertainment of Broadway and duck calls, . . . like DonDiego's favorite The Lonesome Hen, or it would be his favorite if'n he had a favorite, . . . which he doesn't.
I don't think of a musical about Duck Dynasty as being about homophobic people, I think about it as being a musical about white trash. Maybe they can bring in those other southern hillbillies I periodically see on Talk Soup.

Got to take it all in complete context Alan.

I too believe homosexuality is an abomination and a sin though it is not a fear or aversion. I have family members that are gay. I have good friends that are gay. I have next door neighbors who are gay. They are all good people....and sinners, just like me.
Some people think that they are holier than thou.
Not me. I don't pre-judge and I don't care if they ARE gay. Good people are good people and we are all sinners. So I say, "Plus one,Cowboy!"

Thank you for the comment and here we go with the gay-bashing again......
