And the major irony in his views is how much stuff he's written that has very homoerotic behavior, particularly among boys. (Just one example is how all the boys run around naked in the dorms in Ender's Saga. And let's not forget the big fight that takes place in the showers!)
Extremely close male/male friendships abound too. It's basically just the other side of screaming
"These guys are homosexuals!!!"
And now he's violently homophobic. Hmm...
