The American Psychological Association is telling mental health professionals not to tell gay clients they can become straight through therapy or other treatments. File this one under “All Things Obvious“.
The sales rank for gay and lesbian-themed books was removed from Amazon, causing them to disappear from search results on the site. Craig Seymour, author of the gay memoir “All I Could Bare,” wrote on his blog Sunday that his sales rank was dropped in February, then restored nearly four weeks later after he was told by Amazon that his book had been “classified as an Adult product.”
This is in contradiction to the “official statement” Amazon issued (though a 2 sentence nebulous answer hardly qualifies in my mind as a solid explanation):
“We recently discovered a glitch to our Amazon sales rank feature that is in the process of being fixed. We’re working to correct the problem as quickly as possible.”
Sorry Amazon, you’re going to have to do better than that. You’re going to have to explain why I should believe you, why I should continue shopping from you, and why I should continue on as an Amazon Visa card member.
Do you want my continued business? Then you owe me that much.

Caught this on TV last night while working out. Ellen accepted a People’s Choice award for Best Talk Show Host and thanked “my roommate Portia”.
Exactly. Thanks to back and forth legal wrangling over what should be a right for any two people in love to marry, Ellen and Portia are back to being “roommates” in the eyes of the law. Even though they are so much more than that.
