Reaping what they have sown.

As 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.

Even if they do, I can have them reinstate it later.

Very possibly not:

Once your account is closed, it is no longer accessible by you or anyone else. Please note that if you have an Associates account, About You area, or Wish List, you will no longer have access to your account for these purposes either.

If you ever wanted to order from us again or take advantage of any other features of our store that require a password, you would need to start a new account.
