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.
New tag: bigotry like a fungus
dammit. >:(
ReplyDeleteThis sucks...I felt bad about the mp3s too because I buy sooo many from them. I've heard it may genuinely be a glitch though so who knows?
ReplyDeleteDespite their BS about it being a "glitch", looks like they've been pulling their asses for almost a year now:
