I understand that technical glitches happen, but as I've commented elsewhere, what bothers me is that Amazon is filtering results in this way in the first place. The purpose of a search engine is to return relevant results, not to try to decide what's "fit" for me to read. If I'm not interested in one or more of the results, I just don't go there. At least let me know what my options are, and let ME decide from there.
And yes, it's also more than a little disturbing that the top result on searching "homosexuality" is a book on how to "prevent" homosexuality in one's children. (As if such a thing were possible.) Got Homophobia?
NB: I am the single mother of a grown son, and the only thing I did to influence his sexual orientation (which turned out to be straight) was to assure him at the age of 15 that it's normal for a 15 year old to be horny all the time. ;-) Don't tell him I told you that.
