A decade before Scott Gurney created Duck Dynasty, he starred as a gay porn star in a 2001 movie called The Fluffer, an unmentioned but delightful fact in the background of the shows recent conflagration over Phil Robertsons homophobic comments to GQ. But its not a secret either; The Fluffer, which was an independent film that played at the 2001 Toronto International Film Festival, is right there on Gurneys IMDb page.
I called Gurney Productions which Gurney founded in 2005 with his wife, Deirdre to ask for a comment. I was told no one gets connected to Scott on the phone, and I should send an email. (I did.) A spokesman for A&E also didnt immediately return an email requesting a comment.
Gurneys character in The Fluffer is gay-for-pay and a meth addict. He becomes the object of obsession for a male film student who gets a job as his on-set fluffer. Its dark! It was directed by Wash West and Richard Glatzer.

OP
Nothing in the article says Gurney is gay, it says he acted the role of 'gay for pay' meth addict.

Hypocrisy, thy name art Phil Robertson, who has no problem whatsoever when it comes to collaborating with a gay man in a money-making venture, then blatantly pandering to the ignorant and bigoted in condemning entire groups of people.

The piece says Gurney is married to a woman. The piece does not say he is a gay man. He's part of the Heterosexual Community, along with Phil, Pope Francis and Vald Putin.

I can't believe the vicious fb fighting that's going on over this. I'm confused (more than normally).

I don't think people really know what to say about this.
