Human Rights Campaign had removed Google from its annual corporate equality index over the Living Hope Ministries app
Google has removed an app that advised people on “recovery from same-sex attraction” from its download store after one of the US’s top LGBT+ charities suspended the tech company from a gay and transgender rights ranking.
HRC said the app was"life-threatening to LGBTQ youth" for its support of"conversion therapy", which is based on the belief that being lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender is a mental illness that can be cured. Amazon, Apple and Microsoft had previously removed the app designed by the Christian nonprofit group Living Hope Ministries from their app stores.
