My Money's Too Lavender


Heather Has Too Mommies is Too Gay for Amazon.com.

The children's book is among many books that include GLBT individuals, which have now been deemed 'too adult for the general public search' on the website.

I have emailed via their customer service device when logged in. I am also collecting alternate places to buy MP3's from and will no longer buy things via Amazon for my older relatives when they need an online purchase.
