That's a database error and foot-in-mouth Amazon rep saying exactly the wrong thing at the wrong time, not a blackhearted attempt to do evil.

Gay and lesbian titles with adult content were delisted while very similar straight titles were not. Gay and lesbian titles with no adult content were delisted. Gay and lesbian authors found their books with no gay content whatsoever likewise delisted.
I never said "only" Gay and Lesbian titles and authors were affected, but it certainly appears that they were hit by this glitch while similar straight books and authors were largely left alone.
