Google has refrained from commenting on the gay “cure” app available on its Play Store, reports the Telegraph.
The app, called “Living Hope Ministries” claims to be able to pray away the gay, on its website it states: “We disciple young adults who are actively seeking Christian support as they pursue Christ and His design for sexuality. In a culture that encourages young people to do whatever feels right, we are a voice of truth and encouragement to youth and young adults who instead, choose the standard revealed through the Scriptures.”
When Apple and Amazon were made aware of the app on their services they removed it. Now a petition that has reached more than 40,000 signaturesis begging Google to do the same.
“When Truth Wins Out previously brought the hate app to the attention of Apple, Microsoft and Amazon, the companies acted with responsibility and swiftly removed it from their online stores,” the petition reads.
“The surprising silence from Google is in stark contrast with the corporation’s stated policies of inclusion, respect and diversity.
“So why hasn’t the company taken action?
“‘Ex-gay’ programs are a sham.
“They don’t work, they destroy lives and they are condemned by every respectable medical and mental health organization in the world.”
