Card is a trash person, but if you're the type who can separate the art and the artist, some of his early work is very good. I wouldn't bother reading anything from this century and none of his nonfiction (generally online stuff).

Most the series I mentioned are from this century, they may have had some misogyny but it wasn't terribly blatant. Also an utter lack of homosexuality but I never noticed it until finding out about Cards statements.

However one of his early books, I'm told, has some fucked up shit with a gay character repenting his ways or something.

It's not really a matter of separating it for me. They are separate. I didn't give two shits about cards personal life until I found out he was a bigot. And I don't want to support a big it in anyway. But still, I have to work to connect the man to his works. It's easy to do when faced with buying something, it's hard to so when thinking about a story I already love.
