Amazon stops selling books that frame LGBTQ identities as illness
|
[NYPOST] Amazon has decided to stop selling books that cast lesbian, gay and transgender identities as mental illnesses.
The e-commerce titan revealed its decision in a letter to three Republican senators who cried foul last month over the removal of a conservative scholar’s book about transgender people.
The book, “When Harry Became Sally: Responding to the Transgender Moment,” was published in 2018 but recently disappeared from Amazon’s website, Kindle store and Audible audiobook platform.
“As to your specific question about When Harry Became Sally, we have chosen not to sell books that frame LGBTQ+ identity as a mental illness,” Amazon executive Brian Huseman wrote in the Thursday letter to Sens. Marco Rubio, Josh Hawley, Mike Lee and Mike Braun, which was published by The Wall Street Journal.
Huseman was responding to the senators’ Feb. 24 letter demanding more details about Amazon’s decision to remove the book, which they said “openly signaled to conservative Americans that their views are not welcome on its platforms.”
They specifically asked why Amazon hosted the book for three years before yanking it and how the company determined that it contained “offensive content.”
