Oh, of course, I forgot, it's bigoted to point out bigotry

I wouldn't have believed that even you would actually try to defend Orson Scott Card's racist and homophobic and extreme politically bigoted views; I thought the subject line was just you trying to deflect the issue by attacking me. But wow, there you are trying to minimize Card's vileness by claiming it's all just a disagreement over religious beliefs. As if this is nothing more than a disagreement over the pronunciation of "tomato".

So Tom, am I correct in interpreting your response as an endorsement of this, for example? Or how about this, which ends:

How long before married people answer the dictators thus: Regardless of law, marriage has only one definition, and any government that attempts to change it is my mortal enemy. I will act to destroy that government and bring it down, so it can be replaced with a government that will respect and support marriage, and help me raise my children in a society where they will expect to marry in their turn.

Biological imperatives trump laws. American government cannot fight against marriage and hope to endure. If the Constitution is defined in such a way as to destroy the privileged position of marriage, it is that insane Constitution, not marriage, that will die.


Do you endorse all that, Tom? It sure sounds like it when you try to shut me up by calling me a bigot for pointing out bigotry. Address the issue, don't attack me.
