In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude "adult" material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature.

Hence, if you have further questions, kindly write back to us.
Love, Amazon.com

Sounds lovely, doesn't it? Except they're doing this to any and all titles with homosexual content, including YA coming-of-age/coping-with-otherness stories with NO "adult" content whatsoever. While leaving sex toys and Playboy alone. ETA: NOT TO MENTION THIS SHIT. WHAT THE FUCK? WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?

Wrote to Amazon indicating that I will be taking my business elsewhere, permanently. Amazon Rank.

Fair warning, if I see anyone talking about buying anything through Amazon, I don't want to know you. I don't care about your special circumstances; I'm fucking through making concessions. If you will knowingly support a business which, as a matter of corporate policy, considers me a second-class person for my sexual orientation, then you consider me a second-class person for my sexual orientation, and I don't want you in my life.
