DC Comics has hired Orson Scott Card to Write Superman

Okay, I'm a little slow at reading the news sometimes, so when I read this today, I was, quite frankly, horrified.

I'm really disappointed at DC Comics for hiring such a homophobic arse as Orson Scott Card to write Superman.  Usually I feel that an author's views on life shouldn't hold a person back from reading their works – it’s generally a good idea to see how others view things, even if I disagree with them. However, in this case, Orson Scott Card is actively campaigning for a hate-mongering society. I despise people like him, and I am really disturbed at DC Comics for this as well. Is anybody else bothered by this?

Yes, it does seem very strange that DC is doing this now, because like you said, they've always seemed to have sided with tolerance. It makes one wonder if they're having a change of heart and now moving in the other direction. I hope they come to their senses and "un-hire" Orsen Scott Card pronto. I can't look at DC Comic stuff at the moment without a bitter taste in my mouth. Shame, 'cuz of all the great stuff they've done.

I've signed a petition to send to DC, and I'll send them an email this afternoon or tomorrow, telling them how I feel about their about-face in regards to tolerance.
