In general I'd agree with you about political disagreements, but Orson Scott Card doesn't just hold those views in a vacuum. He hasn't made it a secret that he thinks homosexuality is some sort of sexual perversion and that he believes it's caused by child abuse, which is not only wholly unsupported by science but also toxic as fuck. Additionally, he's been extremely vocal about supporting the whole "War on Terror" and was a board member on the National Organization for Marriage, a group that actively campaigns against same-sex marriage.

I don't know about you, but I have gay people in my life whom I love and people like Card are actively working to make sure they don't have the same rights as I do. I don't have to be cool with that and I certainly don't have to "get the fuck over myself". I still have my copy of Ender's Game because of nostalgic childhood memories, but I haven't read/bought anything new of Card's for years now. Unlike the OP, I'm not inclined to pirate his new stuff, but that's because I don't think I'd enjoy it, knowing what I know now about the author. That's my personal decision though, and I don't judge anyone else for thinking or acting differently.
