BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY: This situation has existed in plain view now for more than just one week or even just one year, and I’m sorry to harp on this, but it is apathy that ultimately emboldened Amazon to extend it’s gay and lesbian literary purge to its paperback division last week…
THIS PEOPLE. This is why I find the apathy and shrugs maddening, the defense of Amazon so enraging. Oh, it's not a violent act like beating people in the streets outside a bar or turning fire hoses on a protest. But this sort of insidious shit will continue to creep into our lives until we stand up and say "NO MORE." This little stuff will poison everything.
