Oh, dear. Fags don’t like Orson Scott Card. Whatever shall he do as hops and skips to the bank with his cut of the loot?

He also makes a plea for gay-marriage supporters to “show tolerance toward those who disagreed with them when the issue was still in dispute.” His full statement is below.

I don't think the issue is finished. Doesn't the creator of marriage have the final say? The answer is yes.

Strange, I don’t recall anything from the books about opposition to gay marriage, and I find it hard to imagine a Hollyweird producer adding it to the movie. Oh well, Orson Scott Card asked the homo activists to do the one thing they never can: show tolerance.

Call them what they are, Scott: BULLIES!!!

I will have to see it twice just to make a point.

I loved the Ender’s Game and loved the novella that preceded the novel which I read in ‘Analog’ when I was a teen. I recently read ‘Ender’s Shadow’ and enjoyed it very much.

I’m pretty sure the movie will not live up to the book.

CDC says all of you poofters are spreading HIV at epidemic levels and that 40% of you “gays” have had sex with over 500 different men. That is a death wish and why you are called fags.

Can't wait to see Ender's Game in a nice, quiet, leftard-free cinema. Woo!

[Wicket]

It would seem to me that Orson Scott Card issued his plea for tolerance solely because (his) money was at stake.

[Ancesthntr]

I loved the book, and always wanted to see a movie about it. Now that the intolerant fags don’t like it, I have far more incentive to see it, just to piss them off.

OSC shouldn’t apologize for his views...though I am personally sick of entertainers of whatever stripe sounding off on political issues. Generally (not OSC) they don’t know their asses from their elbows, so they should STFU. I want to be entertained by them, not lectured. Had OSC followed this advice, this controversy would never have come about.

Ummm, that's NOT a tolerant group...

[Mike Darancette]

Hope Orson gets the Chick-Fil-A effect.

Card is an active member of the LDS church and has worked with them to stop the gay marriage agenda.

Because of this, he has lost a job with a comic book company and has put up with a lot of abuse.

Ironically, because he is an honest writer, his adult novels include sex and various sexual relationships. I ran across a very sympathetic gay relationship in one of his novels...of course, this takes place in a non human culture, not in SLC or the USA. So you can’t exactly call him homophobic.

I think the gays hate him and will try to boycott Ender’s Game, and he is trying to limit the harm they do.
