This is appalling. And infuriating. And Not Okay.

(My books have not been stripped of their sales rankings--I just went and looked. But clearly they should be.)

ETA: Smart Bitches, Trashy Books FTW: Amazon Rank.

ETA2: Nicola Griffith, who is seriously one of the most awesome sf writers I've ever had the chance to fangirl in person, is among the authors affected. If there was anything needed to make me angrier (which there wasn't), this would have been it.

This is indeed Not Okay, this is disgusting. What they´re practically are saying is that homosexuality equals ´adult´ material? So what about the MILLION-LIMBED LEGION-ARMY that is heterosexual literature, from the recently discussed Georgette Heyer to anyone else? This calls for action, bitterly I would even suggest they make a ´G&L-Amazon´ page, but that´s exactly the tag underneath your post ´have you met my species?´.
This makes my skin crawl.

This is just disgusting. And just one more reason not to use amazon anymore. Makes you wonder if they have entered the 21st century yet...
