Amazon removes rankings from books with homosexual characters, including from at least one YA book, because they don't wish to include "adult" content in their rankings out of respect to the range of their membership.
Queer content does not inherently equal sexual or "adult" content.
We've got a big problem on our hands with this one.
If you find a targetted media product, add to list here: http://community.livejournal.com/meta_writer/11992.html

Also, when does Amazon bow down and do something to respect MY END of the range of their membership?
