Having read his editorial against homosexuality as the downfall of civilization in The Rhinoceros Times of Greensboro, NC, I nominate Orson Scott Card as the first president of The Nonexistent Liberation Front.

Thanks.

Hi,

I think the best thing about imaginary people from their point of view is probably that they can imagine that every single one is straight. Imaginary homosexuals should have the same rights as imaginary heterosexuals darn it. And what about the children who will never be born because their could-have-been-parents committed suicide or were killed due to homophobia. Our imaginary people are important too. Oh, and given the lesbian baby boom, homosexuality is by no means a reproductive dead end. This will only improve as reproductive technology improves, but Card is still arguing with outdated information.

All said, I'm gonna focus on helping the living and let the imaginary take care of themselves.

Thanks,
Lorrraine

I imagine Card thinks the Future Crimes Unit of the movie Minority Report is a good idea as well.
