Blatantly stolen from [livejournal.com profile] crossfire

1. Go to Amazon's main web page.
2. Search for "History of Homosexuality" in Books.
3. Click on any of the links. Any one. Really, any one will do.
4. Scroll down to the "Customers interested in may also be interested in:" section.

Apparently Amazon has accepted paid links from anti-gay groups and placed them in the listings of many books dealing with homosexuality. This does not appear to hold true all over; for example, if you search for gay rights or gay marriage none of the listings have the hateful links. Indeed, those listings have sponsored links from pro-gay groups.


{Me again}

So, I noticed that, next to the words "Sponsored links", there are two tiny links. The first is "What's this?" and the second is "Feedback". You can not only rate the links, you can leave a comment for each link as well, which is what I'm in the middle of doing.
