#AmazonFail

So, Amazon.com has apparently decided that any book with gay or lesbian content is “adult” material and should be stricken from their sales rankings “In consideration of our entire customer base” (emphasis mine, but words from Amazon.com member services). Because we certainly wouldn’t want to create the impression that fiction or non-fiction portraying gay or lesbian people in a positive light (or, you know, at all) is popular or anything, and I’m sure every Amazon.com customer appreciates being protected from such “adult” content.

Needless to say, Amazon needs to continue to get an earful (and an inbox full) about how such censorship is unacceptable. You can find the petition to protest Amazon’s new “adult” policy on thepetitionsite.com.
