Orson Scott Card is a Mormon & Don't You Fucking Fags Forget It

well, don't the assholes show their faces.

I used to love orson scott card for flying in the face of the LDS by blatantly writing science fiction (verboten under canon law). I used to love orson scott card for writing ender's game.

Unfortunately, now I have learnt that my trust, my appreciation, was wildly mistaken. because despite the fact that at least half his fucking audience is queer, he feels that it's crucial we understand the following stupid fucking points.

And we all know the course this thing will follow. Anyone who opposes this edict will be branded a bigot; any schoolchild who questions the legitimacy of homosexual marriage will be expelled for "hate speech." The fanatical Left will insist that anyone who upholds the fundamental meaning that marriage has always had, everywhere, until this generation, is a "homophobe" and therefore mentally ill.

In the first place, no law in any state in the United States now or ever has forbidden homosexuals to marry. The law has never asked that a man prove his heterosexuality in order to marry a woman, or a woman hers in order to marry a man.

Any homosexual man who can persuade a woman to take him as her husband can avail himself of all the rights of husbandhood under the law. And, in fact, many homosexual men have done precisely that, without any legal prejudice at all.

Ditto with lesbian women. Many have married men and borne children. And while a fair number of such marriages in recent years have ended in divorce, there are many that have not.

So it is a flat lie to say that homosexuals are deprived of any civil right pertaining to marriage. To get those civil rights, all homosexuals have to do is find someone of the opposite sex willing to join them in marriage.

You can read this entire, loathsome article, Homosexual "Marriage" and Civilization, if you can stomach it.

i particularly like the way he ends by calling up metaphors of militarism and of a maquis-like resistance against the evil elite who are controling the world. (protocols of the elders of zion, anyone?)

jesus, is this really the same guy who wrote ender's game?

that's some fucking nerve.
