Gay Men Are Like Rutting Dogs

Same-sex attraction is a disease

I wish it were. Instead, my title and my subtitle are direct quotes from a Christian gay conversion therapy app that Google makes available on its Play Store. The app is filled with similar hate speech, and it fraudulently promotes “therapy” to turn gay people straight.

Even though activists directly informed senior executives of the app’s content, it remains available on Google Play right now. I just installed it on my phone and tested it. All the hate speech is still there. All the fraudulent claims are still there.

It took Facebook bots approximately five minutes to find my post and delete it as hate speech. I assume that human reviewers will eventually see it and restore it when they realize I’m quoting and protesting. I’m not mad at Facebook. They recognize hate speech against LGBTQ people and they take action.

Gay men are rutting dogs? Seriously, Google? Gay men are diseased? Seriously, Google? What’s wrong with you? Why won’t you enforce your policies? It’s not ignorance. Your senior executives know about this app.

Google, your lack of response is unacceptable. Your facilitation of homophobic bigotry and hate speech is morally wrong, and contrary to your own internal policies. Moreover, they damage your reputation for being a corporation that takes social responsibility and inclusiveness seriously.

Your stubborn insistence in hosting and facilitating hate speech is turning that sentiment into a complete farce. We gay men will not be characterized as diseased, rutting dogs. If you insist on continuing to host this app, be prepared for direct protest, zaps, and actions. We will not take this lying down.
