So long as it is not ending up in minors hands (parents need to actually be parents & monitor their children) no harm no foul.
The vast majority of people will not tolerate your (ps249, sunnysmiles) form of censorship.

Pornography has always been illegal in the United States. As far as I know, we still are under the "community standards" test set down by the Supreme Court decades ago. In the US, it is considered by the law to be perfectly legitimate for members of the community to impose their standards regarding pornography.

Actually, judging from the various votes we had a few years ago on gay marriage, I think that the vast majority will not only tolerate but will support ps249 and sunnysmiles. More on this below.

I don't know anything about Taiwan, but here in the US where Amazon is located, it is the homosexuals who are the small minority. We had votes a few years ago in a number of states to approve gay marriage, and they lost in every state by a landslide. My conclusion is that the vast majority of Americans consider homosexuals to be perverts, and would support the banning of gay porn.

Finally, I must agree that it is a sorry state of affairs when a verbal minority can change the business practices of a company.

The First Amendment has never protected pornography.

Here in the US, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil. I think that just about every change of every policy regarding just about everything is due to the efforts of a relatively small group of people. If everyone waited for the majority to get off their duffs, nothing would ever happen.
In this case, I suspect the complainers would have the support of the vast majority of the American people. I think I know how a referendum on gay porn would turn out.

Be very care ps249, not only is your ignorance showing but so is your bigotry against other human beings!

The nature of outlawing porn considering community standards requires that some people's views win out.

If you consider ps249 ignorant and bigoted, I suspect that you would consider the majority of Americans to be as well. Well, Delta is ready when you are, as the saying goes.

Atheist Hans? Object to religious folks having any say in the matter? Americans who object to gay porn must be religious fringe? I don't think that you have your finger on the pulse of the American people.
