I don't want to come off as though I'm trivializing anyone's concerns, but I see this as just another symptom of booksellers wanting to game the system so that "serious" literature bubbles to the top of the bestseller lists.
So yes, yesterday they came for Harry Potter, and the industry moved "children's books" off the listing. Today it's "trashy romances" (both straight and gay). But it's not censorship, it's just a fraudulent attempt to make Americans appear to be better-read than they actually are.
