So Orson Scott Card. I love the Ender's Game books. Love, love, love. I've read a bunch of his other stuff that isn't too obviously an allegory for Mormon theology. (Worthing Saga is great even if it is barely disguised Mormon theology). And I've been looking forward to the moives for YEARS. Yes he doesn't support gay marriage, but so do a lot of people. Maybe I can still see it and then make a donation to the Pride Foundation and that will equal it out? Isn't it censorship to avoid a writer's works because I don't like their moral views? Of course I'm getting the non-profit I'm on the board of to switch away from GoDaddy registration because of their stance on SOPA and their misogynistic advertising. So am I just making excuses because I really want to see this movie?

Also Orson Scott Card is crazy in so many more amusing ways. He thinks Obama is using urban gangs as a personal army so he can stay in power as some sort of dictator. http://www.slate.com/blogs/weigel/2013/08/14/orson_scott_card_worries_about_obama_turning_urban_gangs_into_his_personal.html (www.slate.com)

But historically genius creators have often been crazy. And I really want to see the movie. Sigh. What should a socially conscious geek girl do?
