Anyway, Mrs Joseph, I have not looked in or into those books but I do remember a bit of excitement about Amazon removing some books that fell under a particular genre. I think that was it.
If these books were just stories of people with reversed sexual orientation, I see no reason for them to be removed, but I think I heard that they were that and much more.
Dare I say to a gentle lady, they may have been of a scurrilous nature?

Quote:
LGBT (or GLBT) is an initialism that collectively refers to "lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender" people. In use since the 1990s, the term "LGBT" is an adaptation of the initialism "LGB", which itself started replacing the phrase "gay community" beginning in the mid-to-late 1980s,[1] which many within the community in question felt did not accurately represent all those to whom it referred.[2]
The term LGBT is intended to emphasize a diversity of "sexuality and gender identity-based cultures" and is sometimes used to refer to anyone who is non-heterosexual or cisgender instead of exclusively to people who are homosexual, bisexual, or transgender.[2][3] To recognize this inclusion, a popular variant adds the letter Q for those who identify as queer and are questioning their sexual identity (e.g., "LGBTQ" or "GLBTQ", recorded since 1996[4]).
The initialism has become mainstream as a self-designation and has been adopted by the majority "sexuality and gender identity-based" community centers and media in the United States and some other English-speaking countries.[5][6]

There were pages upon pages of books removed from Amazon. Scurrilous. What does this word mean to you? The majority of the books pulled had plots that were between two consenting adults. After a huge uproar, a lot of the books "reappeared."
Maybe you should spend some time researching "your friend" Amazon and it's actions of the last 4-5 years. It just might be eye-opening. And no. I am not going to spend my time looking it up for you.
