«Sure, card is a Mormon and appears somewhat socially conservative in his personal beliefs.»
Not just «somewhat», he believes that armed insurrection is justified as a response to gay marriage:
«Because when government is the enemy of marriage, then the people who are actually creating successful marriages have no choice but to change governments, by whatever means is made possible or necessary.»

- nl 15y agoThis is plainly a opinion piece written to support the Mormon's role in defeating proposition 8 (gay marriage) in California in 2008 (note the date of the article). That role was controversial, see [1], and Card is supporting it here. We don't need to stoop to the level of playing dirty politics by taking things out of context in HN. Card's attitudes to homosexuality is enough without accusing him of things it's pretty clear he's not trying to say.
