I'm kind of interested in this aspect - do we really know that they are treating gay and straight material differently? I thought (although I may well be wrong), that the only "rape" titles removed were two books by one author. That, by itself, isn't enough to convince me that there is discrimination going on. Although I could be convinced if there were similar "rape" titles that they didn't pull. (And by similar I don't mean "The Rape of Nanking," although a novel with a title like "How to Rape a Sorority Girl" would certainly count.)
