Orson Scott Card, whose science-fiction book Ender's Game is being released as a film, is a conservative Mormon with a long history of attacking gay people and their rights. He's also one of the most respected sci-fi writers of all time. This has really got sci-fi fans and gay rights activists in a moral dilemma as the momentum for the film builds up to its November 1 release.
Orson Scott Card has gone far beyond opposing gay marriage. In 1990, he wrote in Mormon publication Sunstone Magazine, “Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books, not to be indiscriminately enforced against anyone who happens to be caught violating them, but to be used when necessary to send a clear message that those who flagrantly violate society's regulation of sexual behavior cannot be permitted to remain as acceptable, equal citizens within that society.”

1) Orson Scott Card is "crazy",
2) Orson Scott Card has "committed crimes".
3) Roman Polanski has "wrongs" in his past.
There is no reason to discuss policy differences with these people.
The comments actually refer to the man’s words as a “crime” comparable to raping a child. Just watch: Soon it really will be a crime to express such an opinion.
To paraphrase Whoopi Goldberg, it wasn’t “rape rape” committed by Polanski.
In reality, he actually did force himself on a 13 year old girl, physically. What Whoopi was apparently alluding to was that he was scheduled to do a plea bargain to lesser charges in the child rape case. But, instead of facing justice, he fled the country.
So, the liberal view is that Polanski didn’t commit an actual physical assault, and that all should be forgiven in his case.
But being against homosexuality and homosexual marriage is a crime against humanity nowadays.
Who’s boycotting?
Not me.
The gays can shove it up their collective infected smelly Obamas.
Oh, forgot.....
He drugged her first, and she still resisted. I find it amazing that anyone, even a liberal, would support that pervert. As for OSC, I may just see his movie.
Because those who make that lament are owned lock, stock and barrel by Satan.
For the same reason that Alec Baldwin is still a TV pitch man and Riley Cooper is anathema - political ideology.
I think you might be letting Whoopi off the hook too easily. She claims that Polanski didn’t force himself on the girl, so it wasn’t rape rape. Of course that was the reason for drugging the girl, which must make it less bad in Whoopi’s eyes.
He sodomized that child, so he’s a Gay Hero.
Yes, maybe I did let Whoopi off the hook for her strange comments on the case. You would think that even liberals would be shocked that he drugged a 13 year old girl so he could rape her more easily. But, crickets are what we hear from the liberals.
Thanks Ripliancum.
Polaski is idolized because he sodomized the girl ....(that makes it “GOOD” you know—to the Leftists since abortion isn’t needed.
the sexual perverts are all the same——Making the vile, immature, pagan practice of mulsim/atheist homosexuality removes societies Morality laws.....There can be nothing considered perverted/immoral if you teach little kids that sodomizing others is “Good” and a “Right”————
This guy is Right-—sodomy is a Vice and Just Laws can not condone evil, unnatural behaviors since our Legal System is build on Natural Laws and Right Reason.
Nor me and I'm not a moviegoer. The book was engaging. I hardly read any SF these days but I blazed through that book.
We don’t need to support a Mormon, who possess their own perversions of both theology and behavior, in order to fight the perversion of homosexuality. It’s no different than standing with the Scientologists who also take issue with homosexuality. To support Orson, just because he shares with us this one opinion, is essentially to give his religion unwarranted respect and equality, when really it deserves the same condemnation as homosexual behavior and any other sin.
I wasn’t going to see it. Maybe I will now.
You’re welcome. Thanks for what you do here!
“...the red rag is a cheap way to provoke him.”
I think that works with at least one of the replies on this thread.
