    Well, that didn't take long.

    It was mere months ago that our President, Barack Hussein Obama opposed same-sex marriage.

    Now, it seems that anyone who opposes same-sex marriage is not eligible to work as a comic book writer.

    How fast things change!!!

    How can we possibly keep up with the fascists who demand that people be punished for a Christian view that marriage is a sacrament between a man and a woman?

    And this is a position held by everyone for thousands of years, until mere months ago.

    But that's how fascism works.

    Keep up, or the jackboots step on your face.

    the fact you didn't know it was "Orson Scott Card" not "Scott Orson Card"....is a pretty good indicator this was something you were FED...likely by the Drudge Report.

    :)


    BTW, you "Christians" lost the war when you supported Dick Cheney as Veep and never said a word against his "family values" because of his daughter Mary and her girlfriend (later wife).

    Apparently "defending Christian values"....doesn't matter if the gay person in charge is a Republican..

    So Dick Cheney, ALONE, gets to decide the conservative position on same-sex marriage?

    And his opinion matters MOST of all BECAUSE?

    That's a pretty absurd argument.

    Reliance on authority, taken to an absurd level, because Cheney is not an authority on moral matters.

    Can you come up with anything not so quickly shot down?

    Cheney having a gay daughter has nothing to do with gays not wanting anyone to disagree with anything they want.
    You either agree and Cheer for gay marriage or your to be vilified and wished dead

    How about we follow the Constitution and allow gay marriage under the 14th Amendment?

    and how does that have anything to do with more leftist intolerance of free speech. That is the underlying principle of the thread.

    It would be karmic justice if anyone opposed to same-sex marriage were ineligible for ANY job. The time for discrimination has come, and gone, and those still living in the past need to catch up with the rest of us and stop being hateful.

    (*)(*)(*)(*) off, homo-fascists. I'm tired of you people. You're bullies. We don't go into every crevice of society and condemn everybody who supports your cause, and we'll thank you to stop doing that with ours. I see an apalling irony with the fact that you demand everybody accept you for who you are while you accept nobody else for who they are. Knock it off. Nobody likes a hypocrite. You don't like Mr. Card? Don't buy his stuff. Pretty simple. But (*)(*)(*)(*) with all the outrage. We're all tired of it.

    This is not directed at all gay people. Only the pushy people, both gay and straight, that get upset about petty crap like this. The people who hold such hostile, anti-religious views that they protest everything that dares to support tradition. You people are jerks.

    So demanding a boycott is 'Fascism'?

    http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/Evils in America/Hellivision/boycott_gone.htm

    "Southern Baptists end 8-year Disney boycott."

    I often disagree with boycotts, but calling a boycott Fascism just displays a fundamental ignorance of history, fascism and the American Constitution.

    Now I happen to think that Orson Scott Card(note his correct name) is a fantastic writer and an amazing story teller. But I disagree fundamentally with his very public position on gay marriage, and I think it is quite proper for the customers of DC comments to express their opinion to DC, and even to boycott if necessary.

    But boycotts are not fascism, unless you think Catholics are fascists too:

    and that poster is spot on

    it is what the gay movement has become, simply an extension of the radical left. If you do not agree with all of their beliefs and opinions then you are to be demonized. That is the push-back your group is experiencing. It has nothing to do with having a deathly fear of homosexuals or even caring what you do privately. It's that unless you bow to the beliefs then you are targeted.

    Like when Southern Baptists announced the boycott of Disney for allowing Gay events at Disney world?

    Those who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

    - - - Updated - - -

    Since when is a boycott 'intolerance of free speech'?

    Need I list the number of conservative boycotts over issues that they disagree with?

    As usual, the market will decide. If they don't buy the comic he will be let go. Simple as that. If Superman readers lean heavily toward support for gay rights then at the end of the day DC will likely make sure they are taken care of.

    :blahblah: Gay marriage should be legal (in all 50 states and under federal law benefits) under the 14th amendment. The myth fear right only uses the constitution when it fits their needs: guns and religion. To hell with eveyone eles rights and the costitution after that the myth fearing right says.

    Here is a list of all of the companies that support gay marriage:


    Have you objected in the same way to the boycotts organized in opposition to gay marriage?



    Do you think that the entire Southern Baptist Church are jerks?

    - - - Updated - - -

    Please refer to my list of boycotts organized by Southern Baptists, Catholics and other Christians. I guess some gays are becoming more and more like Christians.

    We strongly disagreed with Cheney on gay marriage.

    But I understand how any parent still loves their child even when they suffer from a physical of sexual handicap.

    Never read Ender's Game, but I did read Ender's Shadow, liked the story.

    That being said, this issue is petty.

    This gets the "Ironic Post of the Year! What hypocrisy! What fascism!

    Its not GAYS who want to "go into every crevice", it HAS BEEN the HOMOPHOBE FASCISTS who want to regulate our most intimate acts.

    Homophobe-fascists are demanding that gay sex be made ILLEGAL AGAIN, where the government will INDEED AGAIN go into every "crevice of society"!

    Did you protest Cheney's nomination as Vice-President....with Mary openly gay? Bet you didn't.

    Did you demand he ostracize her or cut her out of the will or anything? Bet you didn't.

    Face it, you lost "the war" the moment you "Christian values" guys went silent running over Mary Cheney, because her dad was a gung-ho Republican pushing tax cuts and invading the Middle East. Your "outrage" was easily trumped by your partisanship.

    Not really. I'm all for gay marriage and equal oppurtunity but even I'm fed up with all the intolerent crap of the militant gay and lesbian crowd. People aren't going to agree or think like you 100 percent and if you haven't realized that yet then anything you have to say is pretty much null since you're not living in reality. It's called life. That's just the way it is and to say that someone shouldn't hold a job because of their view is hateful, ignorant, and intolerant.

    Ironically, gays are proving that what Card is saying is true.

    Because he said that Christians would lose their freedom of speech if same-sex marriage became the law.

    And that is exactly what gays are trying to do, deprive Card of freedom of speech by blackballing him.

    And it seems to me that leftists have a word for that: "McCarthyism."

    If Card puts anti-gay commentary in a Superman comic, then you can complain.

    But my guess is he's not going to do that.

    As a conservative and a science fiction writer, I can speak from first-hand experience that the majority of the auhors and readers in this genre are left-wing atheists/non-religious. I have had to tolerate them cramming their views down my throat for years.

    Why is it that they can't tolerate an openly conservative SF writer?

    Even though Isaac Asimov was an atheist and a humanist, I still greatly admire his work. Why can't. . .

    Oh, nevermind. I give up.

    Why don’t you start with respecting the constitution, instead making this an ad hom.
