Gay Marriage: Divergent Opinions

[lurkerwithout]

Michael Swaim (a blog writer for Cracked) posts a response to Orson Scott Card's recent statements against gay marriage...

Some excerpts:

That’s right, people. The Mormon guy who wrote all those books about the innocence of a child winning out over war and hatred wants us to raise arms against any queers who feel like expressing their love

You’ve spent your life imagining diverse races and cultures, and doing a hell of a good job.

Uh, apparently this guy hasn't actually *READ* any Card.

Card's spend his life imagining thin analogues for real-world cultures and then explaining how they all really just need eugenics, Nazi-super-soldiers, fascism, and Mormonism.

You know that and I know that.

Then again, you're a lot more likely to get the Card fans who don't read non--fiction and think he IS a creative genius a lot more likely to listen to you if you say "You may be a good writer, but you're morally reprehensible." than by saying "Your books are bad and you should feel bad!"
