Old news, but just found this... (I did do a search for my queer porno novel but it wasn't touched and still comes up on a search.) cj Amazon.com is excluding gay and lesbian books, including serious works of scholarship, poetry, fiction, and criticism, by writers ranging from Ellen DeGeneres to Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Michel Foucault, from its searches and lists. An international protest against this policy is being organized now. You can sign the petition here: http://www.thepetitionsite.com/petition/119673661/ FROM JEZEBEL: " According to author Mark R. Probst, Amazon.com has begun pulling the sales rank numbers from several gay and lesbian books, claiming that the books are "adult" and should be excluded from some searches and lists. http://www.hastac.org/blogs/cathy-davidson/amazonhomophobia-searchand-censoring-sign-petition
