search for "homosexuality" on amazon. Of the top hits, read the titles and the "look inside" feature, and prepare to vomit.

Three of the top five were "pro-gay" books and movies, including the top hit (the movie For the Bible Tells Me So). The others were, as you implied, barf-worthy. But still, I think that it can't be said (or at least not as easily) that Amazon's software is programmed to allow easy discrimination against queers.

Just the fact that books like "You Don't Have to Be Gay: Hope and Freedom for Males Struggling With Homosexuality or for Those Who Know of Someone Who Is" exist makes me want to break something with my bare hands, though.

my issue isn't so much that those books show up, but seriously - on the first page? and also, just for fun, i decided to look up christianity, to see if there would be a bunch of books condemning the church - wow, surprise, there weren't. i e-mailed them, since i have an account and *used to * buy books from them.

here it is:

Hi,

I wasn't sure where to direct my e-mail, so this will have to do. I have been hearing a lot about a 'glitch' happening on amazon where many books have been de-listed due to adult content. I was somewhat flabbergasted, and decided to do some searches to see what came up. A search of homosexuality revealed mostly anti-gay, homophobic, how to oppress your child by "curing" their gayness books, and yet, a search of christianity brought up only relevant, positive books on the subject. This cannot possibly be a glitch, nor should it take this long to fix. I will be boycotting amazon until this is fixed and there is a public apology.

Sincerely,
a
