Amazon sucks again and not in a good way

What would happen if you were a newbie to the whole I have same sex attraction world, and upon searching amazon for some books about homosexuality, each page you went to contained an advertisement from anti-gay organizations that proposed they could cure you, or fix you? Would you think it was a message from the universe? No, just "A Word from our Sponsor."


(Thanks noahboyzand ftmichael .)

Check out amazon thse days:

On many of the pages for queer books, there are advertisements for anti-gay organizations.

Look for yourself (scroll about 1/4 of the way down to the 'sponsored links'):

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0226314472/qid=1079235797/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-9577319-4191332?v=glance&s=books

or

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0312205260/qid=1079238823/sr=1-29/ref=sr_1_29/104-4613483-9703159?v=glance&s=books

There's a place to leave feedback for Amazon about the sponsored link, and to tell them that this is repulsive, hateful and homophobic. I did this, telling them that I would not shop at Amazon until these ads were removed (and that I would pass this along to as many people as I could).

I encourage you to do the same.
