Geeks OUT launches an Online Protest against Ender's Game the Movie


The folks over at Geeks OUT have launched, "Skip Ender's Game". It's an online protest that tells the masses to avoid the film at all cost. The reason for this is due to the anti-gay writer of EG, Orson Scott Card.

Their site states:
By pledging to Skip Ender’s Game, we can send a clear and serious message to Card and those that do business with his brand of anti-gay activism — whatever he’s selling, we’re not buying. The queer geek community will not subsidize his fear-mongering and religious bullying. We will not pay him to demean, insult, and oppress us.
And that's not all, Geeks OUT are hosting events in major cities during the movie's debut.

This group has proven to be effective with their protest tactics. They brought mega attention to Scott's Superman comic and prompt DC Comics to pull back. I'm so curious to see how this all plays out.
