I do wonder how much his openness about his beliefs in this case has cost him professionally. I mean, clearly he still has a fine career, but it definitely seems like he's paying a price -- for example, the pretty vocal protests over his lifetime achievement award for young adult literature. I suppose you have to admire someone for having convictions even at personal cost. I mean, it's a pity that his main conviction is that war > legalized gay marriage, but hey, a lot of people don't believe anything at all.
