So you have read ""The Beast that Shouted Love at the Heart of the World"

What is it that lets you divorce his persona from the writing? Is there some trick I'm just not aware of? I feel the same way about Orson Scott Card too, I just can't read the books of a man who is so openly antagonistic to the gay, lesbian and bisexual communities.

I am unaware of his openly antagonistic attitude to the gay, lesbian and bisexual communities.
Can you enlighten me? I can honestly say I do not have warm feelings toward Mr. Card, but that is mainly because he is an a-hole, I don't like his writing, and his mom dresses him funny.
EDIT: to be clear, when I say "I am unaware of his openly antagonistic attitude to the gay, lesbian and bisexual communities." I am speaking of Ellison, not Card.
Additional EDIT: To be clearer, Ellison is manifestly an a-hole, I love his writing, and I do not imagine for a minute his mom would dare to dress him for fear of being sued.
