Recently a number of very well known authors of books that mention the existence of gay people began to notice that their books were falling completely off the sales rank charts at Amazon. Thus these books were losing their Amazon Rank.
At the same time book searches for words like homosexuality began returning despicable books by notorious fools like Joseph Nicolosi, a fraudulent practitioner of Jeebus-brand anti-gay bigotry who pretends to "heal" men of being queer, nevermind that gay identity is not a problem that needs to be addressed in the first place.
Over the last few days Amazon has been incrementally releasing disclaimers that may begin to approach the reality of what is really happening. First they claimed it was just a technical glitch, next they seemed to border on admitting they were trying to protect people from information about Teh Gays, as if their campaign of closetization was being applied to all reading material, not just queer reading.
We find it difficult to believe that Amazon by corporate policy, or one or more employees of Amazon acting to keep the Baby Jesus from crying, are not engaging in a conscious and deliberate effort to mask and conceal queer literature from public view.
Here is how you can help.
We think it would be better to bring Amazon back into contact with reality, rather than simply boycotting them. By getting them to reverse this foolhardy action we can make them a valuable resource for young gay people in the future. Books are good. Books can help people. Help Amazon to return to selling books that present a reality-based view of the gay identity.
As a side benefit, whenever you help to promote a reality-based view of gay people you are also helping to defeat the idiocy of religious delusions.
