As far as Card's "the end of democracy in America" remark, I assume he's referring to the fact that gay marriage typically loses whenever it's allowed to be put on the ballot.
Why we, as a nation, continue to pander to a group that is, but its own reckoning, less than 4% of our society as a whole.... is well beyond me to understand!
WHY are our politicians so afraid to speak their minds about this? WHY are they pommeled by the Lame Stream Media for their moral upbringing (IF they have any!?)
WHY are we allowing the gays to continually call the shots?

Zeus Comics in Dallas, Texas, is the first comic store to state that they will not be carrying the print edition of Adventures Of Superman, while Orson Scott Card writing a story for the comic. On Facebook, they posted;Zeus Comics will not be carrying the print edition of writer Orson Scott Cards Superman.

It is shocking DC Comics would hire him to write Superman, a character whose ideals represent all of us.
If you replaced the word homosexuals in his essays with the words women or jews he would not be hired. But Im not sure why its still okay to have an opinion about gays? This is about equality.
