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.

Unbelievable. The existence of homosexuality is no more "adult content" than the existence of marriage or children themselves. If you don't know how to talk to your kids about it, then LEARN. As a wise man once said, "It tells me that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them!"
