A Fox News reporter claimed it was pornography, I'm not sure if it was on the air or through a blog. I'm guessing Amazon got complaints and pulled the book from their catalog, after it had been for sale for years with no problems.

I think it's exactly as big a deal as people are claiming. This isn't the first time Amazon has targeted gay material for special treatment while leaving similar straight material alone. I don't see it as anything but anti-gay discrimination.
