Does this include older books, say 100, or even 1,000 years old? Anyone know?

There are 1000 year old books that discuss these types of topics?

A couple command people to stone them to death, but I guess Amazon won't drop those.

An LGBT couple, having Amazon sponsorship tattoos, asked to be murdered or married books were co-cult leaders?

The oldest known books are about 2,500-years-old.

Ancient Greeks and Romans didn't definite sexuality in discrete groups, they instead indicated masculine/dominant/penetrator and feminine/subordinate/penetrated. Nero married a castrated slave.

Maybe Amazon will ban ISIS books, the Bible, and Gilgamesh? Better ban all books, just to be safe.
