Related: About this forumAmazon sells book on ‘gays going to hell’
from Pink News
Amazons Kindle Store has sparked a backlash by offering a fundamentalist religious text which tells gay and trans people they are going to hell.
The book is one of 849 listed in Amazons Christian fundamentalist section.
The e-books synopsis says: LGBT Going To Hell is a small fundamentalist Christian book that seeks to tell the LGBT community that it is in sin and lives a lifestyle that is against Gods Holy Word the Bible.
This is not a book to win friends but to call sinners to repentance.
One American reviewer wrote: There is no doubt that books like this are part of the reason why so many young LGBT people in USA commit suicide.

I wouldn't necessarily be in hell, but they would.

Horrible, disgusting speech, but few courts would see that as hate speech sadly.
