I’ve spent many a night in my room, curtains closed, door shut, with only the light from my laptop’s screen acting as a potential beacon for the desperate moths outside, trying to smash my window with their bodyweight. I’ll be lying over the covers of the bed, nodding my head to the music pouring out of my laptop, typing away at this very keyboard, typing, typing, typing. Before, on these many nights, you’d have found me nodding my head along to a band called Despised Icon; the band were – and maybe still are – a favourite of mine; I’d often listen to them and similar bands after reviewing a band for other sites/publications that I wasn’t too fond of. You know, listen to something you like and are familiar with and you instantly feel as if a weight...

Best.Gay.Week.Ever? I don't think so. First, there was that Amazon.com kerfuffle where the online merchant began treating almost all books dealing with gay subject matter (even purely academic ones) as adult content — excluding many very worthy titles from their sales rankings system and standard searches.
One sad result? When you type in "homosexuality" as a search on Amazon, the results are skewed dramatically toward crap like this:
(Here's my bit of unsolicited advice to Amazon shoppers who might be interested in A Parent's Guide to Preventing Homosexuality: "Do everyone a favor and don't have kids!")
So what's going on here? On the surface, it sure looked like Amazon had adopted some sort of conservative policy to effectively bury positive gay representation on their site.
But then company spokespersons variously blamed it on a computer "glitch," and a "ham-fisted cataloging error" and made assurances they were working on a fix.
