Orson Scott Card
Jul. 19th, 2007 08:39 pmVericon, and other cons, continuing to honor Orson Scott Card is probably one of the most blatant examples of hetero-priviledge I can currently find in SF, and I can probably find quite a bit. Orson Scott Card has been incredibly blatant in his hatred of gays, and to think his fiction is pure of that hatred is foolish. Thinking that you can separate a man's political views from his fiction is atrocious.
Continuing to support Orson Scott Card is hetero-priviledge pure and simple and folks shouldn't pretend otherwise. If he had said a 10th of what he has said about gay people directed towards a racial or ethnic minority he would be ostracized from SF.
If there is any justice hrsfa will will denounced by Harvard's gay and lesbian associations and made to regret having Card as their guest of honor.
