What’s weird about all this is there’s quite a bit of homoerotica in Card’s novels. Songmaster is rife with it, and even Ender’s Game has some of it, as I recall.

Methinks the lady doth protest too much … .

I also heard that EG and Speaker for the Dead aren’t really his, which I can almost see. I’ve become very disappointed with him and I can’t read his crap anymore, especially since he decided to stop writing real fiction and start writing religious tracts.
