Amazon is censoring queer content

I'm shocked to read that Amazon is deranking all books with gay and lesbian content (including Stephen Fry's autobiography!) as they consider them too "adult" for customers to see. I didn't believe it at first when I read this post about the seriousness of the censorship but then I search "homosexuality" in amazon.com and found that, indeed, the first ranked search is "A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality" and the rest bible shit too.

I've been using Amazon for years but now I think I'm going to have to close my account there.

ETA: You can't find the book even when you type in the whole title and author. This is just insane!



Links about the situation - if real adult items are not labelled "Adult" but parenting books are, what do they mean by "Adult"?
