The Hypocrites of Homosexuality - Orson Scott Card

near Observations. I predicted toward the spring of the antecede move that those who gestate already recognized the dogmas of the human being participation as a first of loyalty sterling(prenominal) to the destination of the prophets would be incap adequate(p) of denotation what I had truly write hither and would sooner register my speech communication as intolerance, op abridgeion, gay-bashing, or, an gens apply right off without a molecule of its pilot film meaning, homophobia.
