Orson Scott Card Loves the Gays
Mormon sci-fi/fantasy author Orson Scott Card has made absolutely no secret of three things:
- He opposes the gay rights movement (claiming that “by and large homosexuals already have” civil rights), supports criminalization of homosexual activity and opposes gay marriage.
- He advocates overthrowing any government that institutes gay marriage.
- He does not consider himself a homophobe.
And now he has joined the board of the National Organization for Marriage (NOM), the group behind the campy “coming storm/rainbow coalition” ad and the hilarious 2M4M.org misfire. NOM claims not to be homophobic as well, but are they willing to embrace Card’s extremist, “non-homophobic” philosophy?
Read more about Orson Scott Card’s non-homophobia and his position on the NOM board in this People For the American Way press release.
