'Duck Dynasty' Star Phil Robertson Shared 'Radical' Idea About Bathroom Controversy
The star of the hit reality series "Duck Dynasty" shared his insight on the ongoing transgender bathroom controversy.
As reported by ABC 11, there is currently an ongoing lawsuit concerning House Bill 2, which was said to have violated civil rights protection, according to the Department of Justice. House Bill 2 is said to ban individuals from using public bathrooms that are not assigned to their biological sex.
Phil Robertson, who is known for his deep rooted Christian values, recently offered his opinion regarding the issue of transgenders and bathrooms. The Hollywood Reporter explained that Robertson emailed several other conservatives concerning the controversy.
In the email, he said that he had a "radical" idea regarding the Bathroom Controversy. He said, "Men should use the men's bathroom and women should use the women's bathroom," Roberston explained. "Just because a man may 'feel' like a woman doesn't mean he should be able to share a bathroom with my daughter, or yours. That used to be called common sense. Now it's called bigoted."
He also added that "we're slowly losing our soul" for the sake of political correctness, not considering the Judeo-Christian values.
Aside from that, the e-mail also revealed that Robertson is currently working with the Citizens United, which is another highly controversial group. With that, many are baffled by their new found partnership.
However,Attorney General Loretta also explained that the bill is about more than just bathrooms. In a press release, she said, "This is about the dignity and respect we accord our fellow citizens and the laws that we, as a people and as a country, have enacted to protect them -- indeed, to protect all of us. And it's about the founding ideals that have led this country -- haltingly but inexorably -- in the direction of fairness, inclusion and equality for all Americans."
