Dear Amazon: YOU SUCK.

If you haven't heard about what's happening at Amazon.com (i.e. stripping the sales rankings from queer -- and BDSM, and poly, and other "adult" -- books), you'd best check this out ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure Amazon.ca and Amazon.uk are pulling the same stunt.

I'm giving them until tomorrow to issue a full apology and make serious inroads at reversing this. Otherwise, I'm gone too.

Following this on Twitter has been a treat, though. Hundreds of tweets every hour - priceless.

I have no problem with them doing this... as long as they do EXACTLY the same thing to "hetrosexual-themed" novels and books. Which they'll never do since that would be a lot of books. What bullshit. I hate that if you have two people of the same gender in a book even insinuate that they're attracted to one another, it's suddenly "adult" and meanwhile there are oodles of other books with very explicit descriptions about hetrosexual relationships that aren't deemed "adult".

The hypocracy has always made me wince. This is going way too far.

Thanks for posting this. Apparently Amazon is now saying it's a "glitch." A mysterious "glitch" that only affects gay and lesbian content? Right.
