On December 19, 2013, A&E placed Phil Robertson from "Duck Dynasty" on indefinite hiatus following remarks on homosexuals in an interview with "GQ". A&E said in a statement, "We are extremely disappointed to have read Phil Robertson's comments in "GQ", which are based on his own personal beliefs and are not reflected in the series "Duck Dynasty". His personal views in no way reflect those of A+E Networks, who have always been strong supporters and champions of the LGBT community." On December 27, 2013, A&E announced they would begin filming again with the entire Robertson family on the heels of large public outcry and discussions with the Robertson family and numerous advocacy groups.
