Really, Amazon, you're going to be that transparently homophobic?

Amazon makes the assumption that all gay, lesbian, bisexual, and/or trans material is 'adult' and have erased them from the rankings system, while showing their hypocrisy by leaving up (lots) of very explicit heterosexual material.

A list of links about the issue can be found here.

If you only have time to read one post, read this one as it contains the reply that Mark Probst (YA author) received from Amazon.

I'm so pissed at them. I had something on pre-order from them, but now it is canceled and I made sure that they knew this was the reason why.

Yeah, I just checked my amazon account, and I have ten pre-orders right now. I'll give them until tomorrow to fix this, it being a Sunday night and all, but they'll notice if I cancel those.
