I'm so mad I'm going to throw up.

EDIT: Some people on absolutewrite are saying they've read about a new mail from amazon saying, "oops!  it was all a computer glitch!  we'll fix it now."  Which is a blatant lie since they started this at the beginning of the year according to some of the major news articles this whole debacle inspired (LA Times, After Elton, Publishers Weekly),

So what adult books are okay in search engines so long as the focus is not homosexuality? o.0

[twbasketcase]

Depends on the adult book. Laurell K. Hamilton's books are still up, for example, as is anything by Playboy. And vibrators. -_-

Gay and lesbian studies--like a recent book focusing on gays in the military--and childrens books, however, have been erased. You have to put the title in directly to find it; browsing is no longer possible.

There's a petition online protesting to Amazon. I've signed it.

Oh, d'oh. That was me, sorry.

I read this, too, which I liked/laughed at/got riled up because of: http://jezebel.com/5209088/why-is-amazon-removing-the-sales-rankings-from-gay-lesbian-books

More links at the bottom of that one. Off to sign the petition, thanks for the information. :)

*smooch* You are gorgeous and wonderful and awesome. But I already knew that. :)

Unfuckingbelievable. Seriously, my mouth is just hanging open.

[michiru42]

What is, that trillingstar is wonderful? :)

Just kidding. It IS pretty gross, but I'm hopeful it's been rectified with the new notices Amazon is sending out...

AMAZONWHO?

[vinnyblack]

Forget amazon...good things about sex toys and everything else it's about this site!

[russ_ww]

I'm with you all the way on this one....no adult content or no discrimination based on whether the material is gay or not...that's unfair and just not right...i'm not happy about that either and I will spread the word, with my girlfriend working in publishing maybe it will work it's way around...

[michiru42]

Too weird...looking on amazon today, some of the rankings are back and some aren't. @_@ I dunno if they're in the process of changing it back or are still being arbitrary or what...

And I don't need to tell you you're awesome, because you know. :D

You know how I feel about them! They suck!
