Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card has called gay marriage 'the end of democracy' – and some comics fans want him fired

Superman fans are up in arms at the decision of the publisher to appoint a noted anti-gay writer to pen the Man of Steel's latest adventures.

Comic giant DC has commissioned Orson Scott Card, author of the award-winning and best-selling Ender's Game sci-fi series, to write for DC's Adventures of Superman series. The digital comic is set to be published in April.

The news has sparked a furious backlash from Card's critics. Card is a long-time critic of homosexuality and has called gay marriage "the end of democracy in America". In 2009 he became a board member of the National Organization for Marriage, a group that campaigns against same-sex marriage.

It is unacceptable to some, for a guy who opposes any part of the gay agenda to find work in the entertainment industry.

The blacklist lives on.

As far as Card's "the end of democracy in America" remark, I assume he's referring to the fact that gay marriage typically loses whenever it's allowed to be put on the ballot.

I wouldn’t say Card is anti-gay. Card’s a Mormon so he follows his church’s teachings on the matter. If they change, he changes.

Just so I am clear the ones that scream discrimination the loudest want to limit the freedom of expression and restrict his ability to earn an income because his view differs from theirs.

Yeah sure that works.

Bull Obama alert.

This is the Guardian.

They also believe in glow-bull warming.

You know how bottom of the barrel our MSM is.

The Guardian dolts are quantum levels worse.

There isn’t an individual on that paper that could understand the operation of a wedge.

Those that still think conservatives can infiltrate the media and Hollyweird are not paying attention. Not even a well established writer can write comic books without being attacked.

Do you think the MSM is ever going to hire conservatives or Christians in enough numbers to make a positive impact on the filth?

It is not pro-gay.

However DC Comics is taking one principled stand, for which it is being attacked.

Attack right back.

The real story is the extent to which activists are willing to destroy the livelihood of whoever disagrees with them.

They have gone from requesting tolerance for their beliefs, to demanding supremacy for their doctrine.

I disagree with Mr. Card's theology.

Aside from that, he's an excellent science fiction writer, and a good choice for writing Superman comics.

Faggots can go pound sand. They would probably enjoy it.

So the comics code in the fifites kicked out overt heterosexual and extreme violence, gore imagery so it could be replaced with queer sex fifty years later. makes perfect sense in topsey-turvey land.

Well,at least now Superman won't have to be checked for rectal syphilis on a weekly basis.I visited the CDC website recently and found that something like 66% of all new syphilis cases reported (reporting of them is required by law) are in homosexual males.

Sorry...just checked and I was wrong.It was only 63%. Syphilis In Homosexual Males

He needn't bother ... I'll pick up a nice 'chocolate' wedding cake for them. There are several in the pasture down the road from me.

I'm sure I can find them a nice, moist one.
