Campaign to boycott Ender's Game movie

Mark Frauenfelder 9:10 am Tue Jul 9, 2013

I read Ender's Game and hated it, so I wouldn't watch the upcoming movie adaptation even if Orson Scott Card wasn't a blowhard homophobe. But he is one, which is all the more reason I happily signed Geeks OUT's pledge to skip Ender's Game.

“Laws against homosexual behavior should remain on the books, not to be indiscriminately enforced against anyone who happens to be caught violating them, but to be used when necessary to send a clear message that those who flagrantly violate society's regulation of sexual behavior cannot be permitted to remain as acceptable, equal citizens within that society.”

— Orson Scott Card, “The Hypocrites of Homosexuality,” Sunstone Magazine, Feb 1990
