Following the removal of books by a Catholic psychologist amid L**T activist pressure, Amazon has removed the works of other authors who once lived and identified as gay.

The works of Anne Paulk of the Restored Hope Network and pastoral counselor and author Joe Dallas are among the latest books to be pulled from the online retail giant.

Dallas' book — Desires in Conflict: Hope for Men Who Struggle with Sexual Identity — and Paulk's book — Restoring Sexual Identity: Hope for Women Who Struggle with Same-Sex Attraction — both of which until the past few days were sold on the platform, are now no longer available for purchase.

"Amazon's decision is no surprise since today's culture is caving to the goals of the L***Q political movement, which have always included the silencing [of] any disapproval of homosexuality," Dallas said in an email to The Christian Post Monday.

"It would be awfully naive to think it will stop here. First, the L***Q movement will convince the culture that telling homosexuals they can change is dangerous. Then they'll convince the culture that calling homosexuality a sin is dangerous. Then the government will tell the pastors of America what they can or cannot say on this subject, and the culture will approve."

The author added that those whose books are being targeted and scrubbed from the website are presently considering how to best respond but their mission will remain the same.

"None of us will stop communicating the grace of God evidenced in our lives, and in the lives of those we serve," Dallas said.

"Peter and John said it so well: 'Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard," he added, referencing Acts 4:20.

Dallas' other books are still available on Amazon.

Paulk did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

In response to the removal, Voice of the Voiceless, a group representing former L**T-identified persons, launched a Change.org petition Monday, demanding that Amazon reverse course as it accused the company of unfair censorship.

"We are outraged that a smear campaign by one individual (who stated here that he never read these books) could convince Amazon to censor all books, audiobooks, and Kindle material related to our experiences and viewpoints," the petition, which has garnered nearly 3,000 signatures, reads.

"For every major issue there are two sides to each story. For one side to be bullied and censored on every platform is counter to the values we have long held in common with Amazon."

Reports indicate that the man behind getting Amazon to discontinue selling the books was Rojo Alan.

The removal of other books come after Amazon pulled the works of Joseph Nicolosi, a Catholic psychologist who died in 2017. He is the author of several books on homosexuality in men and therapeutic approaches for persons with same-sex attraction.

"The books Amazon banned are an important part of my father’s legacy. Just one of his books had 400 endorsements, from a man who said Reparative Therapy of Male Homosexuality 'saved my marriage,' to several past presidents of the American Psychological Association," said Joseph Nicolosi Jr. in a statement sent to CP Monday.

"Amazon's book ban puts radical L**T ideology ahead of established science about how people leave homosexuality. It is anti-choice, anti-science, and anti-American."


The fact that thousands of people have been same sex attracted for a number of years, then gone past the damage that caused their same sex attraction, and entered the world of opposite sex attracted people and are now happily heterosexual, often married with children, is a terrifying t***h that the L***Q does not dare to allow to be revealed.

It appears that Amazon is getting pulled down into the sewer with L***Q group and they also appear to be going willingly as well.

It is amazing that 3% of the adult population are homosexual yet they have an amazing amount of power.I know you are going to think I have gone off the deep end, but, remember that one of the 45 Goals of C*******m is the destruction of Western society by totally removing the moral basis of Western society, and one of the things they emphasized was making homosexual behavior not only acceptable but celebrated, as well as removing the ban on adult-child sexual behavior, calling it intergenerational partnerships. The laws are changing on the age difference and sex with two or more people of the same sex is now legal and celebrated, promoted in the public schools. I think there is a connection between C*******m and this push, but I may just be getting foolish and senile.

No you aren't senile but if you were I would be there with you and besides I heard and read both that the homosexual population in fact the report that I read included all of the L***Q group was around
1-1/2 percent to 2 percent of the US population.

Don’t fool yourself Amazon is the sewer! Stop buying from them! Jet and others have better customer service and if u compare prices you will find amazon is more expensive and you have to pay more for prime just to get faster service!!

Auntie Dee

I like you statement & you are not foolish nor senile, just older, wiser, have seen & know a little more about life! Epstein's attorney might glob onto that inter-generational sex partnership idea as a defense if he can get it before a liberal judge, nothing would surprise me!

I have always been amazed at how this small % of people could gain so much political power....it is obvious they have had lots of help & $$ from high-people in high-places!

One of the most appalling things is that in many states including California (or course) telling a boy who has been molested by adult homosexual men that the boy is not homosexual, he is a victim of a horrible crime. Unfortunately so many boys who are between 9 and 12 and have been molested, seem to think that they would not have been selected for sexual advances unless the adult knew the boy was homosexual and that the adult just wanted to help guide the child into the lifestyle safely. Correcting that BS is not legal in California so therapists have to be very careful or they will be in jail and the molester will not ever be punished. There ar few Christian groups working with kids in California for that very reason, and the boys whose lives are torn apart are worse for not being able to get help.

A hundred percent correct you are, anything to create chaos is good for the socialists/c*******ts. When
People get confused and not sure what's right or wrong they are easier to control. It's hard to believe that we allow children to be brainwashed with this garbage with the excuse we don't want to hurt feelings. Like
Take down the monuments of our history as an example. If the family is destroyed then that's a step forward as far as they are concerned. If a person is gay then To each his own but keep it to yourself, heterosexuals dont go around having parades with banners and bands playing. But ieven if we we all suffer
This will come back to haunt them someday, the chickens will come home to roost.
