Given that Card is a well known and vocal opponent of gays I don't really see that he has any standing whatsoever to comment on the way another author handles, or doesn't handle, their character's sexuality. Especially when dealing with it outside the story.

And how in the world does HE know what Rowling wants or doesn't want. The simple answer is that he has no idea and is pulling an opinion out of thin air, or someplace darker.

I thought Card's attack on Rowling was crude and offensive, and I'm glad I gave up reading his stuff a while ago.
