It seems some homophobe is in control of the censorship desk at Amazon, and has decided that any title with a Gay-ish theme is unworthy of having an Amazon Rank; but naughy hetero titles are still just fine. Naturally, the spokeslime for Amazon is telling a tall tale, to protect their homophobic friend, but hopefully once Jeff Bezos wakes up this morning, he’ll get around to publicly firing and shaming the appropriate party.
UPDATE: Amazon has been making the rounds with a bogus story, blaming some anonymous french worker over the Easter weekend. Never mind that there’s ZERO chance of someone in a French office on Easter doing anything but the most critical tasks, it wouldn’t explain the official policy statements sent to authors over the last few months, nor how any system could classify pro-gay books with “sexuality”, but wouldn’t similarly tag anti-gay books, much less leaves the Ron Jeremey autobiography untouched.
Nope, this was a deliberate action by someone at Amazon. Maybe not authorized, but definetly deliberate, and someone is definetly deliberately making the problem worse spreading horseshit around, instead of soap.
