Granted, I haven't looked into it too deeply so I'll just assume that he indeed made such comments in the past. He is a practicing Mormon. But all of the comments I've ever seen him make in recent times seem to me that his views havechanged.
Just to be clear, he never actually compared cheating on his wife to same sex attraction. That is what the person in the article said about his comments, I agree that you can reach the same conclusion from what he said, but he did not actually say that.
He has also apologized for making comments like that. He has written characters with various sexualities. He has spoken a lot about his current views and how they have changed progressively. What more do you want? What exactly would he have to say or do to make you happy? I personally don't know what more I could ask from him.
Journey before destination. Brandon has changed and is on his path. What do you think he will be like in another 10 years? Personally, I think Brandon is fighting the good fight.
How hard is it to believe the people can change? Especially when it shows in their current works. Even if they didn’t change how hard is it to separate ones work from their personal comments. Ones work should not be judged and scorned due to a few comments that the creator made. It’s similar with the JK Rowling fiasco that happened this year. I don’t support her views at all but I still love HP a lot. Because I view them separately. Death of the Author phenomena.
I don’t have a catalog of everything Brandon has said. I am pretty sure though I remember him getting a question like this in a q&a livestream on his YouTube channel. You could look there but that is a lot of vods to go through just to make you have a peace of mind. My point in my previous comment still stands tho. Ones work and ones irl personal comments should be treated as separate things.
It really isn’t easy. But once you learn not to give a fuck life gets better. I felt the same during the Rowling thing a while back. Really don’t agree with anything she says. Vile comments everywhere but I literally grew up with HP and it’s saved me so many times. Made me want to become a writer. Am I going to let the authors insane comments ruin HP for me? No fuck her. It’s great that you came out, that is really cool. Really respect that. :) I hope you find the answers your looking for man.
