Their ignorance of Card’s harm is quite possible, but this in and of itself speaks to a great amount of privilege that comes with obliviousness. How ironic that precious minutes of his show were so exceedingly harmful to the LGBT community, including Norton himself.Īs we were watching Ford promote the movie, my husband wondered if perhaps Harrison Ford, Viola Davis, and Ben Kingsley (all three of whom I love and respect) were unaware of the harm done by the homophobic hypocrite Card. Shame on Graham Norton for even giving airtime to the nefarious Card and sustaining a heterosexist culture. I was watching the Graham Norton Show as Harrison Ford was promoting the movie. I write this article with a great sadness and heaviness upon my heart, given the first major promotional piece I saw for the film. Every outlet that promotes the film without acknowledging Card’s opinions and influence is colluding with his vile efforts. Orson Scott Card has been an enormously successful science fiction and fantasy author and has used his wealth and fame to denigrate and oppose the LGBT community at every turn. Every ticket sold for the movie Ender’s Game enhances the wealth and well-being of a notorious homophobe.
