Ender's Game: Dead End

Summit’s Ender’s Game has found a powerful ally in the LGBT community. Dustin Lance Black is asking LGBT activists calling for a boycott of the movie to put their efforts elsewhere.
“There's so much good to be done right now,” Black wrote on his Facebook page Saturday. “Boycotting a movie made by 99% lgbt equality folks in an lgbt equality industry is a waste of our collective energy. Making one phone call to a relative in the south who isn't quite there yet would be 1000 times more effective.”
The sci-fi film has come under fire because of the anti-gay views of Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card, who has a history of opposing same-sex marriage and gay rights.

Hollywood Reporter.

Well said, lovely Dustin.
Or as I prefer to think of you Mrs Dustin Lance Fagburn.
This Orson Scott Card sure sounds like a homophobic arsehole - it's not a (thought) crime.
Typically the call for a boycott has come from one of those silly online petitions.
Oh, deliver us from anti-gay Christers and gay hysterics!

PS In the novel, Ender's Game, mankind is at war with an alien insectoid species called... the Buggers.

Update: Hilariously hysterical piece in the Guardian online; 'As a gay 'nerd', I don't want my money going to benefit homophobic Ender's Game author Orson Scott Card in any way'.
Thanks for that - I expect both Hollywood and homophobia to collapse any day now.
