Fact
1
His longstanding condemnation of homosexuality and campaigning against same-sex marriage have drawn considerable controversy. Among fears of a boycott of the "Ender's Game" film released in 2013, Summit Pictures removed Card from the "Ender's Game" panel at San Diego Comic Con as they felt his presence would only generate bad publicity. Additionally, DC Comics withdrew their plans to publish a new "Superman" comic that had been penned by Card after an online petition against his hiring drew more than 17,000 signatures prompting the comic's illustrator to leave the project.

Card is the only author to receive both the Hugo Award and the Nebula Award for Best Novel in consecutive years, for "Ender's Game" and its sequel, "Speaker for the Dead," in 1986 and 1987.
