For those who think they're supporting LGBT rights by boycotting

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2013)

Orson Scott Card also breathes in air, drinks water, drives a car, and eats food.
And, given that those support his anti-LGBT views (by allowing him to survive), why don't you go and boycott those too? Because this is called "cutting of your nose to spite your face". You're doing no harm to anybody but yourself.
There is a really good movie here, that covers the deeper aspects of a child's mind in an adult world, and you people want to protest against it? You're going to boycott someone's work, just because you disagree with them? You're going to discriminate against them, let your bias control your actions? If you boycotted this movie because of the author, you are a massive hypocrite.
(To use a different example) I abhor everything the Westboro Baptist Church stands for. Yet they have a right, under the Constitution, to have their freedom of speech.
Now, let's say they go and make a movie that is completely and totally unrelated to any of their views, and they hold a public screening of it.
And you and all the others show up on motorcycles to drown the sound out.
Just like the WBC did at funerals with their anti-gay speeches.
Hypocrites. If you don't want to watch the movie, fine. But don't try and act like you're helping anybody.
