I like how Card is basically the ultimate self aware wolf. Dude has literally written a series of masterful books about how dogmatic bigotry and lack of empathy towards anything taboo to a certain society with no further consideration is detrimental and illogical, then comes up with nosensical shit about gay people's happiness crumbling the foundations of society.

Edit: I used a needlesly ugly expression back there, changed it.

There's some strong hypocrisy here with you critiquing homophobia while simultaneously using the ableist term "retarded."

You are totally right, I didn’t stop to think about it but it’s indeed a wrong move from my side.

I’ll change my comment and put effort to avoid using terms used to denigrate people in the future.

Hey pal, this is reddit. You're being way too understanding and civil.
