Jane at Dear Author has done some digging into the metadata on the censored/not censored books, and yes, it does look like it's the category data that's being used to filter, and that *anything* with "gay" or "lesbian" in the category metadata is being hit, which is why we're seeing things like the hardback edition of Barrowman's autobiography filtered and the paperback edition left alone.
Next question -- who in Amazon decided that "gay" and "lesbian" are automatically adult content? If this came from the top, that's a problem. If it was somewhere a lot lower down, that's *still* a problem. Whatever it is, it's not a glitch.
