The vote is coming up this fall, but polling is against it. Anti-gay activists have forced onto the ballot a proposition that the constitution be amended to conform to their religious beliefs. Let’s see: the California Supreme Court determined that the state Constitution does not bar homosexual couples from getting married. The first and greatest threat from court decisions in California and Massachusetts, giving legal recognition to "gay marriage," is that it marks the end of democracy in America. Proving that Southern Baptists and right-wing Catholics don’t have a monopoly on intolerance and willful stupidity, he launches into one of the most poorly written and long-winded rants against gay marriage (which he always put in scare quotes) that I’ve ever seen. You see, Orson don’ like him none o’ them thar faggots a-gittin’ theirselves married ‘n’ suchlike. You probably know of Orson Scott Card as the author of the novel Ender’s Game, but did you also know he’s an intolerant right-wing nutjob? As if to exemplify, Orson has penned a piece for the Mormon Times – apparently, an actual newspaper – in which he reveals his penchant for strawmen, false allusions, and scare quotes.
