Reaping what they have sown.
Apr. 13th, 2009 08:29 amAs many of you already know, Amazon.com has decided to "show consideration" for their "entire customer base" by delisting the sales rankings of GLBT-friendly books. They have not seen fit to do the same with anti-GLBT books, however, and as a result, Searching for "homosexuality" links to a series of homophobic books by right-wing fundamentalists.
In light of this, I sent this letter to Amazon.com moments ago:
I wish my account closed, effective immediately, in protest of your policies against GLBT content. I object in the strongest possible terms to this discriminatory behavior, and refuse to do any further business with you until such time as you cease such promotion of bigotry.
Sincerely,
[my name]
I would encourage all of you who read me, and have not already done so, to do the same.
