Gay and lesbian books removed from Amazon
Several articles are noting, including the AP and Planet Out, that Amazon has removed a number of gay and lesbian books from its rankings, deeming the titles as “adult content.”
As result, many are in an outrage. Among the books unlisted includes a bio of Ellen DeGeneres. Huh?
Planet Out states: “Titles such as Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson; The Dictionary of Homophobia: A Global History of Gay & Lesbian Experience edited by Louis-George Tin; and Radclyffe Hills' The Well of Loneliness were also among the hundreds of gay and lesbian books that were de-listed.”
Though it should also be noted that Amazon claims it did not intentionally pull those titles, and in fact these books are still being sold. Amazon described it as a “glitch.”
Yet there are plenty of other “adult content” books, including those of heterosexuals, the article points out.
