Amazon.com has stopped selling a calendar by an anti-gay cartoonist after days of pressure from LGBT activists.

The calendar – named I’m Not Gay, I’m Just a Sissy: 12 Months of Sexual Confusion – was by the self-proclaimed ‘Christian cartoonist’ Joe King.

The US-based Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation criticized the calendar for its stereotypical images of gay men, transgender women and the LGBT community in general.

It also mocks people who are living with HIV or have AIDS.
