I love Card's books, I think most people do. The reason I'm going to see this movie, not only because it's my favorite movie, but because there were no anti-gay sentiments in his books. If anything he's shown tolerance in his book. I remember reading one part in the Mithermages saga where the main character expressed his view on homosexuality as not for him, but it didn't bother him. Therefore I don't feel obligated to boycott his books or movies. I'm still excited to see it in theaters.
Almost a third of my friends are gay/lesbian, and even a few of my family members. I don't tolerate people being anti-gay in my presence, but everyone's entitled to their opinions. I don't like Card's view on the subject, but there will always be people like him, he's no different than those other people. As long as he keeps it out of his books, I can keep enjoying them.
