.Amazon has restricted items and search results involving LGBT products and issues on its website within the United Arab Emirates.
The Big Tech shipping company decided to restrict product sales Monday after the Emirati government gave Amazon's local operation until Friday to comply or else face penalization, according to documents reviewed by the New York Times.The affected search results included broad terms such as"LGBTQ" and"pride," as well as targeted searches such as"transgender flag,""queer brooch," and"chest binder for lesbians.
Amazon also mentioned specific books being restricted in the UAE, including My Lesbian Experience With Loneliness by Nagata Kabi, Gender Queer: A Memoir by Maia Kobabe, and Roxane Gay’s Bad Feminist. “As a company, we remain committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and we believe that the rights of L.G.B.T.Q.+ people must be protected," an Amazon spokeswoman said in a statement. “With Amazon stores around the world, we must also comply with the local laws and regulations of the countries in which we operate.”Amazon has had a mixed history when it comes to the sale of LGBT-related products on its platform.
