>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.
