There's no need to legalize gay marriage. I have plenty of gay friends who are committed couples some of them call themselves married, some don't, but their friends treat them as married. Anybody who doesn't like it just doesn't hang out with them.
Orson Scott Card
I didn't want to see you. They told me. I was afraid that I'd still love you. I hoped that you would.
Orson Scott Card
It has been my experience that the better a man you are, the more folks there are who resent you for it, and find occasion to get angry at you no matter how kindly meant your deeds may be.
Orson Scott Card
