More on Amazon’s ushering of queer & sexuality titles into a dirtier, ill-lit corner of their shelves: the LA Times blog asks why American Psycho remains indexed as any other book when Running with Scissors is buried, Edrants calls for a boycott, and Heather Corinna blogs at Amazon wondering why clearly marked explicit porn titles weren’t targeted when young adult books were. meta_writer (via debauchette) lists all the targeted books identifed so far.

Updates update: Craig Seymour’s account of what happened when he confronted Amazon on removing his books from front page search, & de-ranked author Kate Bornstein weighs in (via Sarah Dopp). Consumerist’s angle is “gay and lesbian books lose sales rank for some reason” and shows us what comes up now for Amazon searches for “homosexuality.” And about twleve hours after it all blew up, Amazon responds to the LA Times, calling this whole thing a “glitch.” Amanda Marcotte at Pandagon proposes the “glitch” could be driven by a campaign against specific books on sexuality (including one of the saddest sentences I have ever had to quote: “Anais Nin is dinged, but Henry Miller isn’t.”)
