"Raving homophobe" is a pretty low-resolution picture of Card. Google "Janis Ian Orson Scott Card" for some nuance. Or see this cached post from her site: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ioaWOkC-jhsJ:janisian.com/forum/forum/the-janis-ian-forum/8148-orson-scott-card-and-me+&cd=2&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:ioaWOkC... I'm not going to defend much of his political rhetoric, which I find is aptly described by the word "raving." And like others, I don't love a lot of his views on homosexuality. Just noting a higher-resolution picture of him doesn't fit the simple description of "raving homophobe."

>Google "Janis Ian Orson Scott Card" for some nuance. Thanks for that tip. I'm aware of the Internet's general opinion of Card (seems like a lot more people have something to say about him since the movie came out!) but have never bothered to look up anything more specific. So far, I had been assuming - based on personal experience with well-educated and well-traveled Christians and Mormons - that his position on homosexuality was pretty similar to what Janis Ian described in her post. Also that the Internet's attention - as usual - had been caught by something and blown it out of proportion. I'm glad that those assumptions seem to have been correct.
