The other side of Amazon

Yes, I'm very happy with the results of my little Amazon Associate reseller shop. Y'all have been just wonderful buying, recommending, and generally supporting my efforts, and I really appreciate it.

But on another hand, Amazon's a business, and it makes business decisions that have social ramifications and implications. Like This one, ref'd in Mark Probst's LJ here and in meta_writer here. Essentially, Amazon's excluding books with homosexual characters from its search index rankings.

Really. This oughta make ohnotheydidn't, the front page of the NYT, and every writer's radar.

glbt, citizen's rights and responsibilities, writing, amazon
