Gay Censors Attempt to Cleanse Google of App they Disagree With

โ€œAll Outโ€ delivers 150,000 signatures to Google, asks them to remove gay โ€˜cureโ€™ apps from their store

LGBTQ pro-censorship activists have gathered 150,000 signatures to a petition demanding that Google remove from the free market an app which promotes a philosophy they disagree with.

Stating that โ€œthere is no cure for love, because love is not a disease,โ€ gay activists from the organization โ€œAll Outโ€ demand of the private corporation Google that they not sell an app aimed at promoting a so-called โ€œgay cure.โ€

Said LGBTQ pro-censorship activist Joe Mirabella, โ€œGoogle has a long and impressive track record of advancing equality, but they have yet to remove an app from their store which claims to release people from the โ€˜bondage of homosexuality.โ€™โ€

Most organized religionsโ€“as well as much of the tradition of pre-1970s Western psychology/psychiatryโ€“consider homosexuality to be a sin that is potentially curable. Mirabella and his cohorts, on the other  hand, believe that โ€œcureโ€ products attached to this view of homosexuality are harmful and should be effectively banned from the mainstream private market.

Mirabella stated further that, in his opinion, โ€œgay cures not only donโ€™t work, they are deadly dangerous โ€“ and in some cases even illegal. Thatโ€™s why nearly 150,000 people signed All Outโ€™s petition urging Google to remove this app from their stores.โ€
