I've always been a big Amazon defender, but several things really bother me about all this. The book has been for sale from Amazon for years. Pulling it the way they did is pure cowardly CYA.
Also, unless these apparently new content rules are applied consistently across their product line, this becomes simple anti-gay discrimination. This isn't the first time some moralist has gotten a bug up their backside at Amazon about gay material. It's becoming something of a pattern with them.
