In return, I have been criticized for associating two such disparate things. In the course of conversation I have pointed out to Card haters that he merely holds the same position that Barack Obama claimed to hold just a few years ago. These same people who villify Card and hope to destroy his career are surely the same persons who curse the “Red Scare” and “McCarthyism.” What is the phenomenon in either case? It is the attempt to prevent a person with a particular worldview from getting work or to prevent others from associating with that person. He lost prospective work writing for a Superman project when voices piped up in opposition to him. Why would such a thing be an occasion for joy? The answer is that Card (a Mormon) is a known opponent of same-sex marriage.Ĭard’s career of late has been affected by his view of marriage. Another person chimed in with joy over a news story that Card would not profit personally based on the performance of the film. A friend posted on Facebook about his interest in the new Ender’s Game film based on the classic novel by Orson Scott Card.
