And he is generally taken to mean exactly what he says in them - do a web search for "Orson Scott Card homosexuality" to see how he has been interpreted for *years* (the first written of the essays I linked to above was written in 1990).
Just becuase you do not agree with his essays does not mean they are inflammatory.

Google is down at the moment, so I can't do any research. But neither of the 2 essays you link to are inflammatory. The one he wrote back in 1990 is almost scholarly in the emotional impact he imparts.
