Don't post this sort of thing.
This is not sparking discussion, it's just promoting your group, and its a little irritating.

I agree with you mate... read it in the guardian this morning... Removing gay authors from the 'family friendly' section... its pretty fucked up and a boycott is needed...
Respect for bringing it to discussion (and bollocks to the mod who said it was annoying)

This is so insane that Amazon would do this. One of our members just finished a book called Sexuality and Socialism and is doing a speaking tour to branches of the ISO and others on the west coast where Amazon head office is located I think. We should organize a demonstration against these bigots.
