New York City has become a Gay bookstore dessert with no oasis in site. Financial loss due to the economy is a main reason for poor sales. I would love to buy a Gay coffee table book. Lets be real. I can not afford it without employment. I’m in favor of supporting Gay businesses.

A lesbian and gay bookstore that has been around much longer than Amazon.com. http://www.amazonfembks.com/ All major bookstores censor their lists. They want to make money.
