This, like my DeadJournal entry I just posted, was originally a better structured entry. I may rewrite the better structured one later, but right now, I’m not going to bother.

I ran across a discussion on homosexuality in which someone said how disappointed they were that Orson Scott Card was such a homophobic bigot. I, too, was disappointed until I realized that I was only going on what they said about the man, and considering how much respect I had for him, I thought I owed it to him to find out exactly what he’d said. So, I did. (There are two links there, incidentally.)

I don’t always agree with Card’s politics, but judging from the “Uncle Orson Reviews Everything” and “World Watch” essays he writes weekly, I think that simply dismissing his well-conveyed thoughts as mere bigotry is a crime beyond description.
