ditch your kindle

Amazon has done a very bad thing by stripping GBLT titles from their sales ranks on the grounds of these titles being "too adult" to reflect the interests of their wider audience. WTF? When you start protecting society from books like Lady Chatterly's Lover and Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit and Dead Girls The Dictionary of Homophobia: A Global History of Gay & Lesbian Experience you're really barking up the wrong frigging tree.

Astropolis seems to be exempt, but I believe that's more a reflection of my fame (or lack thereof) than the series' content. How long until someone notices that my books aren't just about big things blowing up against a starry backdrop and in fact contain transgender characters and homosexual sex and "Amazon rank" it? I want that sales figure to remain right where it is, thanks. It's so close to 666,666!

Sorry to give you two rants in a row, not to mention another petition, but I do think this is very important. Again, cancelling your account with this company may make more difference than a petition and flag-waving. Please consider it, for the sake of a sane world.
