02 Jan Amazon continues to sell “homophobic” calendar in the UK
An American calendar by a Christian cartoonist which employs images of stereotyped gay men is still on sale today through Amazon in theUS and the UK, after it was pulled by Barnes and Noble.
Joe King’s calendar, I’m Not Gay, I’m Just a Sissy: 12 Months of Sexual Confusion, includes jokes about AIDS and effeminacy in gay men.
Amazon has so far been unable to respond to requests for information by PinkNews.co.uk about whether the calendar would be withdrawn from sale.
One of King’s cartoons depicts Paul Revere riding on horseback and shouting “The sodomites are coming! The sodomites are coming!”.
While some have debated whether the cartoons were genuine satire not designed to cause offence, King took to his own Facebook page to rant about the gays who complained adding that it was not the first time he had been banned.
Update: Since this article was published, Amazon UK removed the calendar from its store.
