Amazon.com \"Gay Glitch\" or \"Anti-Gay\"

by Davina Kotulski, Ph.D.

Dear Friends,

My heart is beating so fast as I share this extremely upsetting news with you. Amazon just stripped the sales ranking indicators for all books with anything that has to do with gay content and they are calling it "adult" material. On 1/3/09, the last time I checked my Amazon book ranking it was91,602. I was horrified when I received an e-mail today telling me about Amazon’s new policy and went to the site myself and found my rank missing. I searched other books like Eckhart Tolle’s The New Earth and a new favorite The Michaelangelo Method which ranks at #366,419 in Books still have their ranking. Evan Wolfson’s Why Marriage Matters has lost his ranking, but Focus on the Family’s Glen Stanton’s anti-gay Why Marriage Matters book has a rank.

Friends, I am sorry, but my hands are shaking and I am burning in my stomach acids at this RAW INJUSTICE. I’m asking you to boycott Amazon.com until they rectify this egregious act. And please share this with everyone. We cannot allow gay people to be treated this way.
