Some of the books affected:
James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room
Annie Proulx's Brokeback Mountain
Jeanette Winterson's Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit
Radclyffe Hall's The Well of Loneliness
The Advocate College Guide for LGBT Students
to name a few. This also appears to include gay autobiographies. Amazon's explanation, as told to one writer of gay young adult novels who had this happen?
In consideration of our entire customer base, we exclude "adult" material from appearing in some searches and best seller lists. Since these lists are generated using sales ranks, adult materials must also be excluded from that feature.
Hence, if you have further questions, kindly write back to us.

This seems to mostly affect the US portal, apparently. Check out the link above for more titles. You can also check out the LiveJournal community tracking this.
