Amazon.com delisted the sales ranking of almost all books with GLBT content. When their shit was called for it, they blamed in on a "glitch" which they claim to be fixing. Interesting, is it not? Here's a list of books which were de-listed and a list of books which were not. We report, you decide.
Books Stripped Of Amazon Sales Rankings:
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin
Mayor of Castro Street by Randy Shilts
Brokeback Mountain by Annie Proulx
And this list from a blog called Jezebel.
