Fail, Amazon.com. FAIL.

Amazon.com has removed the sales rankings from books that it deems "adult", which (among other things) prevents them from showing up in searches from the main page of the site. Amazon's definition of "adult" content includes some heterosexual erotica and pretty much every book on the site with GLBT content regardless of whether it contains actual sex or not. Like, for example, autobiographies or self-help books or the children's book "Heather Has Two Mommies". Go on, go to Amazon's main page and type that title into the search box. NO RESULTS. The topmost and only related result (when I do it) is an article on the controversy over the book. Similarly, if you type "homosexuality" into the main search box, what you get is a bunch of books on "deprogramming" gay people, which apparently are the only sort that didn't get unranked by Amazon.

WHAT. What. WHAT.
