From Perez Hilton:
—————–
Amazon.com is going to have a little bit of explaining to do after customer ratings for LGBTQ-themed books began disappearing and they removed the literature from searches and lists.
According to Amazon:
“In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude “adult” material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature.
Hence, if you have further questions, kindly write back to us.
Best regards,

Really?
So why does Playboy: The Complete Centerfolds still have its rating? While Ellen DeGeneres: A Biography was initially stripped of its rating?
Since the “ratings policy” went into action, inciting online protest, Amazon tried to explain the blatant censorship away with a “glitch.”
While many LGBTQ books have had their ratings restored, Amazon has failed to issue an apology.

Some people think it’s cute to buy their children live bunnies as Easter gifts. Rabbits are pets, just like dogs or cats, and should not be thought of as a novelty gift item.
Find out how you can buy a cute (stuffed) rabbit and help real ones in need!
A step in the right direction

Iowa Ends Gay Couples’ Exclusion From Marriage
Dear Freedom to Marry Friends:
Today, the Iowa Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision in favor of the freedom to marry, bringing marriage equality to America’s heartland. Iowa now joins Massachusetts and Connecticut in ending the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage.
The high court decision in Varnum v. Brien states, “Society benefits, for example, from providing same-sex couples a stable framework within which to raise their children and the power to make health care and end-of-life decisions for loved ones, just as it does when that framework is provided for opposite-sex couples.”
Freedom to Marry salutes the leadership of Lambda Legal, who represented six same-sex couples in this case, and One Iowa, which has brought together a gay and non-gay coalition to build support for marriage equality in Iowa. To celebrate this momentous day in Iowa, join One Iowa for rallies across the state: http://www.oneiowa.org/web/
While the news in Iowa is indeed worth celebration, there is still work to do in Vermont and across the country. Vermont’s House last night joined the Senate in overwhelmingly voting for a bill to end marriage discrimination, which now goes to the governor. Since the governor has threatened to veto the bill, Vermont needs your help in getting over the final hurdle with preparing for a veto override. Visit Vermont Freedom to Marry to take action today: http://www.vtfreetomarry.org/.
With your help, the momentum for the freedom to marry is continuing across the nation.
