Tell Amazon to Stop Discriminating Against LGBT Books

To: Amazon Customer Service and Jeff Bezos (CEO, Amazon.com)

Started by: Ben Rattray

It was recently revealed that Amazon has been stripping the sales rank of gay and lesbian books, labeling them as "adult" content and removing them from search rankings. 

At the same time, books about heterosexual porn stars, Playboy centerfolds, and techniques on how to "cure" homosexuality remain ranked.

Please tell Amazon this discrimination is unacceptable and must be stopped immediately, and that as a public company they should release a transparent set of guidelines on how books are classified on the site.

For more information, see:http://gayrights.change.org/blog/view/amazoncoms_epic_fail or support our friends at Join the Impact or GLAAD for more grassroots advocacy against this type of LGBT discrimination.
