"I don't object to the effort, but I don't blame DC for hiring a big-name author." as long as they don't let him write about gays If it were a comic about a gay character I'd definitely be outraged.
In general I don't react so strongly to homophobic people as I do to neo-nazis - which is probably partially due to cultural background and partially ... well, my Mum grew up being told that homosexuality was horrid and still can't bring herself to think about it even though she admits it's irrational. It kind of makes me think of Card as a poor fool whose mind is stuck somewhere deep in the last century, someone to be pitied more than feared.
