I'm with the group: If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Forcing moral standards upon others is just pain wrong, imo. We're not babies that cannot make our own decisions, we can do that perfectly fine, thank you (in the realm of what is legal, or at least widely tolerated, morally)

Amazon is in their rightful place to decide what products are available in their store, eg. porno. But if Amazon, or any other firm, were proven to have an anti-gay policy, yet a pro straight policy, then I would boy cut them in a heart beat. (not that you cannot sell straight porn, toys, eg. without also selling the gay equivalent. It's the reasons behind the decisions that are the key factor here, imo.)

Edit: (a bit of topic, I guess)

Indeed, there is nothing that can get my blood boiling as injustice against human beings just because they're different (sexually,eg). But sadly humans have always hated against what they cannot understand, or what they fear. Or just because it makes them feel better about themselves, eg. I suspect it all really boils down to being a part of our mental defence mechanisms (hating on gays, eg).
