Vile homophobe alert: John C. Wright

[feuervogel]

Science fiction writer John C. Wright lets his vile, rampant homophobia loose in his LJ. He compares... well, I'll let John speak for himself here:

I will explain. The parts where I am hoping various sexual perversions will be portrayed in a positive light in future shows is sarcasm. The part where I condemn Sci-Fi for their political correctness is on the level.

The part where I question how we, as a nation, got into a situation where the failure to promote sexual perversion is regarded as shameful is a serious question.

I am equating homosexuality with sadomasochism, pederasty, necrophilia, bestiality, and other sexual neuroses. While a technical distinction can be drawn between them, they share the fundamental property of being objectively disordered appetites.

Well then. I'm voting with my wallet, and I'm sure others of you might consider doing so as well.

ETA, 8/14/09, 8:20 am: He closed comments and they all went poof. He's also claiming that only "one or two people" said they'd boycott his book. ROFL. When I last looked around 8 pm last night, it was a lot closer to one or two HUNDRED.

ETA: 8/14/09, 4 pm: He nuked the whole post!

Yeah. I'm an ex-Methodist, so I didn't get all fucked up like that (as much, anyway... our church was more concerned with things like sheltering the homeless and giving to food banks.)

THIS. (Well, my church was afraid, nay, terrified, the government was going to make them do things that were against their beliefs, so their obsession was separation of church and state. They did, like lawsuits and put out a magazine called "Religious Liberty." ^__^ And one branch used that as the argument against Prop 8. So I don't have to disavow them totally quite yet...)
