[Picture is actress Hailee Steinfeld and Asa Butterfield playing Petra Arkanian and Andrew "Ender" Wiggin in the upcoming film "Ender's Game". Petra is a teenager with rosy pale skin and long brown hair pulled into a bun behind her head. Andrew Wiggin is a teenager a bit younger than her with rosy pale skin and dark hair cut short. They are both wearing what looks like military-type dark gray jumpsuits. They are in a dining hall, sitting across each other at a table with other young people and talking together.]

I'm gay, and living in a country where I can be jailed for it.

Ender's Game was one of my favourite childhood books. I loved and related to its message about being compassionate to people/aliens you don't understand because they're different, instead of hating and demonising them. I've been looking forward to watching the movie in the cinema since the time I first read it.

I know about Orson Scott Card's homophobia. It hurts, to put it mildly, but I scroll past and avoid reading where possible, because I don't want the memories tainted. But it's becoming harder to avoid, and I'm getting frustrated at well-meaning (especially straight) people telling me to boycott this movie and judging me for not wanting to do so. I don't have many good things in my life. This movie was supposed to be one of them, and it's becoming harder and harder to think of it with the same delight as when I first heard it was being made.

Just le me enjoy this, okay? I promise I'll make up for it. I doubled the cost of a ticket and donated it to an LGBT health organization*. I'll do more, just give me this one movie.

*not to brag, just to show I'm serious. I'm far from being rich (lol legalised job discrimination), but guilt triumphs monetary concerns.
