Amazonfail!

Looks like Amazon got itself into some REALLY bad situation. Apparently one of most popular e-stores has a 'glitch'' that makes LGBT themed books invisible both on sales rankings and even after searching for those. Apparently it has something to do with new policy, something about adult material. What makes it somehow unbelievable is the fact that only homosexual texts disappeared while hetero ones (including adult toys) stayed.

Porn star Ron Jeremy's raunchy autobiography is still ranked. A scholarly bio of Ellen DeGeneres is de-ranked. Mein Kampf is still ranked. Heather Has Two Mommies is de-ranked.
You think I'm calm? I AM NOT!!! I already signed anti-Amazon petition and advise you to do the same.

To find out more about this issue (since I obviously wasn't capable of going into much detail) visit aviam 's post about it. She was the one I got news from and she gathered some very informative news reports.

I looks as if I'm going to order my books from another source. What a SHAME Amazon, you were the only bookstore I was considering.

books, news, gay rights
