Orson Scott Card on gay marriage

I'm speechless. It's one of the most bizarre right wing screeds I've seen yet. I can't even summarize the more horrific points.

Oh Orson. I think about how much I liked your books when I was younger, and how utterly hurt and furious I am made by this essay. Goodbye, and go get fucked.

in the meanwhile, New Paltz, NY followed California's lead today, and began to marry gay couples. stupidity will fall away, and we will break through, slowly but surely.

I wish I could say that this comes as a surprise; unfortunately, I know too many people who've had dealings with him. Pathetic, and sad, and infuriationg, all at once.

This was known though, wasn't it, that he had some...strange views on the subject? I thought I remembered seeing that in some interview a year or two ago.

You know, I kept hoping that eventually I'd se "satire only, not really a real opinion." But, it is Uncle Orson.

I'd just like to remind yo uthat Mr Card does not represent all of the citizens of the state of North Carolina nor the city of Greensboro. Believe me -- most Greensboroans want him run out of town.

*sigh* Well, he is a Mormon, and a pretty fundie one at that. Still, ew. The number of stupid holes in that argument is really staggering. Marrying someone of the same sex is now a reproductive dead-end? Gee, I didn't know that marriage to a woman meant having to rip my ovaries out. And I like all that stuff about how all women all naturally want to fuck every enormous athlete they see and how only society could stop them. Guess I'm not really a woman then.

You know, it even starts off sanely enough, before it gets into psycho-weird crazy-person stuff.

But gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. I'm a huge fan too.

But I loved Ransom too, I suppose everything is relative. "Give me back my Son!" (heheheheheh).
