An app encouraging users that they can \u201crecover\u201d from same-sex<\/a> attractions through prayer continues to be accessible on Google platforms weeks after Apple and Amazon removed it from their stores.<\/p>\n Truth Wins Out (TWO)<\/a>, an organization that campaigns against conversion therapy, launched a petition against the app last week. Though it\u2019s been available for three years, Apple\u00a0very quickly complied with removing the app<\/a>, so now TWO is targeting Google to do the same .<\/p>\n TWO said in a statement: \u201cBy any standard, the app is awful. It brazenly compares homosexuality to an addiction. It casually trashes LGBT people as living \u2018destructive lifestyles\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n Gay conversion therapy is what they depict in the hit movie Boy Erased .<\/em><\/p>\n The Telegraph<\/em> says<\/a> Google has been accused of \u201cfoot-dragging\u201d after it failed to follow the lead from Amazon, Microsoft and Apple, which removed this app from their online stores last month after being approached about it.<\/p>\n Wayne Besen, executive director of TWO, said that it is \u201cunconscionable\u201d that Google is still offering an online platform to this app.<\/p>\n Besen said: \u201cWe are hoping this is simply an oversight from a very large company, rather than an objectionable policy decision that would warrant further action.\u201d<\/p>\n The post Why Is Google Dragging Its Feet In Eliminating Its \u2018Boy Erased\u2019 App?<\/a> appeared first on Towleroad Gay News<\/a>.<\/p>\n
