Glad to meet you.<br /><br />I'll also use this post to make a correction to my last post: The sentence that begins "Apparently the trouble is Card's version of the play is that Hamlet's father was gay,..." should actually read "Apparently the trouble <b>in</b> Card's version of the play is that Hamlet's father was gay,..."Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-15318212467143351482011-09-09T15:05:02.670-04:002011-09-09T15:05:02.670-04:00I haven't read any of these books but I comple...I haven't read any of these books but I completely see your point.<br /><br />Great post, new follower:D<br /><br /><a href="http://bookchowdown.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">My Post</a>Farhanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02680014521460878060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-11032267919224453912011-09-09T13:17:50.709-04:002011-09-09T13:17:50.709-04:00@Jenni Elyse: I have had several Mormon friends, a...@Jenni Elyse: I have had several Mormon friends, almost all of whom have been very nice people to know. But Card seems to have run off the rails in the last decade or two with his anti-gay screeds and his praise of government control over people's lives.<br /><br />For a recent example, see Card's revision of Hamlet in which he ascribes all of the problems the characters face <a href="http://io9.com/5838157/orson-scott-cards-hamlet-not-as-good-as-shakespeares-version" rel="nofollow">to the supposed evils of homosexuality</a>. Apparently the trouble is Card's version of the play is that Hamlet's father was gay, and by having homosexual relations with most of the other characters somehow "turned" <i>them</i> all gay. Or something. None of it makes sense.Aaron Poundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11747596648152141394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3304302673132222419.post-47736630437628362762011-09-09T12:54:15.757-04:002011-09-09T12:54:15.757-04:00I'm quite sad that books like this make "...I'm quite sad that books like this make "Mormons" look bad. I'm a Mormon and in no way do I think gay bashing is appropriate. I may not agree with the lifestyle, but people don't agree with mine either. We can still be civil and even friendly to each other. I have a few friends and even a niece that is gay and I treat them just like I do my other friends. Anyway, I hope the book didn't leave a bad taste of "Mormons" because he's just one person and there are many of us out there that don't feel the same way as he does.Jenni Elysehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08403700912436098391noreply@blogger.com
