For the most part, no. I hear there's one that's a little problematic, but that's one book I have't read out of many of his that I have read that he hasn't put any kind of anti-lgbt message in.

What said. The one that is really problematic is Songmaster, and it's not in the Ender's Game series. But hoo boy, is it problematic. And sad for what it reveals about OSC's psyche.

The Ender's Game series is really about acceptance of alien cultures, even when you feel threatened by extremely different ways. Which is why it's so very strange to me how vitriolic OSC is on the subject of homosexuality. The male piggies in Speaker for the Dead definitely engage in homoerotic behavior, and their reproductive life-cycle is completely different from humankind's. But Ender is totally accepting.

So, I dunno. Maybe OSC isn't aware of his own subtext, or is torn about it.
