Sounds like a naive view to a complex story and character from a book that has been praised and received two prestigious sci-fi awards. Quite honestly, I find the political views of many of my favorite series' authors (i.e. George Lucas) quite objectionable, but that doesn't mean I will boycott their products, call them names, or assume the worst in his motives. I admire many people for what they do that is good, even though they, like all of us, are prone to the human foible of bigotry. Yes, each of us is prone to it in one form or another, and OSC's views are not motivated by hatred towards homosexuals, but by ignorance.

lol, I neglected to put what I said in quotes. Those aren't my words and I don't believe them. I just thought that the following Kuro5hin article was well-known enough to mention in passing without having to cite it: http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2005/5/28/22428/7034
