LOL....Ender/Bean slash. You should do it! Although given his outspoken views on homosexuality (which have been very well known for awhile) I'm sure there are already websites out there devoted to that.
I'm pretty certain that whatever homosexual entrendes you found in his works were not put there intentionally. The impression I got from the interview was that he really isn't big into close self-examination (explains his bashing on Jung/Freud).
After reading the article and interview, I'm convinced he's in the closet. Which kind of sucks for him - because if he later decides to come out of the closet, he is going to have a rough time of it given his position in the public eye. It would mean leaving one community he has been accepted in and joining another that is hostile to him. Of course he's a writer and not a politician, so it won't be as bad for him as the trials the mayor for Spokane is going through. But it will definitely not be pleasant unless there are many heartfelt apologies.
