Easter greetings, everyone.

In commemoration of the holiday, we will present the most famous leporine drag act ever to grace the silver screen.  With apologies to Richard Wagner and Chuck Jones.

Amazon under fire

I thought this was a fucking joke at first.

That's right...  Amazon has reclassified ALL LGBT material as "Adult".

From BookSquare:  http://booksquare.com/open-letter-to-amazon-regarding-recent-policy-changes/

and the author Mark Probst:  http://markprobst.livejournal.com/15293.html

Go to amazon.com and do a search for "homosexuality".  The first book is "A parent's guide to preventing homosexuality".  Yes, "preventing".

Spread the word... this CANNOT stay there.

My letter to amazon.com

To amazon.com:

I discovered this evening much to my chagrin Amazon.com's new policy regarding GLBT-related literature, and how it has been recategorized en masse to "adult material" status.  This new policy is without saying one of the most bigoted and unprofessional actions that a company such as yours can take (to alienate a single group because of perceptions.)

I am a public librarian.  Because of this change of policy, I will no longer give amazon.com my personal business for book purchases, and I will discourage my friends and colleagues as well as my library patrons from using amazon.com's resources to purchase material.

I hope that this short-sighted and malicious policy is rescinded quickly.

Sincerely,
Michael Cienfuegos, MLS
