A Heads Up to Amazon users.
Dec. 30th, 2011 04:45 pm Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk are both listing for sale this delightful bit of hate-speech and bigotry:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Im-Not-Gay-Just-Sissy/dp/1466226641/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1325262803&sr=8-2
I would recommend that those of you who have the inclination to do so get on to Amazon in your respective countries and complain. I have, and I will continue to do so until this is taken down (not least because hate speech is illegal in the UK.)
I do believe in free speech, and I do think people have the right to their own opinions. If the author wants to offer this stuff from his own personal website then he is entitled to do so, but I do not think it is either appropriate or ethical for Amazon to be offering it for sale. Personally, I will not be buying from them until it is removed (and as a Kindle owner, that is quite a big deal for me.)
