Gay groups: Google Plus, iTunes must censor Christian smartphone app to cure homosexuality

Image
Homosexual lobby groups are outraged at Google for having an app that claims to be able to cure unwanted same-sex attraction in 60 days , available at its Google Play online store. The self-help app is from the organization called Setting Captives Free , which produces a series of interactive courses that deal with addictive behaviors including sexual impurity, overeating, substance abuse, gambling, and smoking. The group claims to have helped over half-a-million people overcome unwanted habits. The contentious app is called Door of Hope. "You have arrived at the Door of Hope, the 60-day interactive course that will teach you to enjoy a newfound relationship with the Lord and how to find freedom from homosexuality. It is possible, and you can learn how," the brief description of the app states. PinkNews reported that a homosexual group calling itself Gaylesta (The LGBTQ Psychotherapist Association of the Greater San Francisco Bay Area ) sent a statement to Google co

Queensland GOA Billboard Advertising "I'm having a lesbian" promoting consumer fraud?

A PREGNANT woman who is "having a lesbian" stars in a provocative new billboard to promote gay marriage. Parents and Friends of Lesbians and Gays spokeswoman Shelley Argent said the campaign was designed to garner support from mainstream families for gay marriage, on the grounds that gay children were "born that way". "Being lesbian or gay is not a choice," she said.  "It's got nothing to do with culture or parenting skills.  "It's just the way you are. You're born that way." The billboard shows a smiling woman baring her pregnant belly, with the slogan, "Congratulations, you're having a lesbian".  Billboard giant GOA has donated space for the ads, worth up to $60,000, in Queensland. GOA managing directo r Chris Tyquin said he would ask interstate billboard companies to donate space as well.  There is no scientific consensus that sexual orientation is fixed and immutable on the contrary, many studies have co

Former APA president: I know of ‘hundreds’ of homosexuals who changed their orientation

 A renowned psychologist who was a former president of the American Psychological Association (APA) has submitted  an affidavit  saying that he personally treated over 2,000 homosexuals for various conditions, while his staff counselled thousands more, and he knows of “hundreds” who successfully changed their orientation. Nicholas Cummings filed the affidavit in support of a motion by JONAH ( Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing ) before the New Jersey Superior Court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) accusing the group of “fraud” for offering reparative therapy services. JONAH is a Jewish organization that offers assistance to men and women seeking to resolve their sexual conflicts, focusing specifically on unwanted same-sex attractions . The SPLC  filed a lawsuit against JONAH  in November of 2012, alleging the group is guilty of “ consumer fraud ” because the therapy is not always successful in changing people’s sexual preferences.

English: Barack Obama delivers a speech at the University of Southern California (Video of the speech) (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) WASHINGTON, D.C. , February 26, 2013, ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – President Barack Obama's administration does not believe homosexuals can change their sexual orientation and holds that reparative therapy is “generally futile and potentially dangerous to an individual's well-being.” Those are the sentiments expressed in the amicus curiae the Justice Department filed with the Supreme Court on Friday, urging justices to strike down a provision of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). According to the Obama administration, “the broad consensus in the scientific community is that, for the vast majority of people (gay and straight alike), sexual orientation is not a voluntary choice.” The brief also asserts that the medical profession has determined that “efforts to change an individual’s sexual orientation are generally futile and potentially dangerous

APA to eliminate gender identity disorder, replace with ‘gender dysphoria’

August 13, 2012 ( LifeSiteNews.com ) – You are born with an XY or an XX chromosome, primary characteristics that will objectively develop one genotype: male or female. But now you can choose whether to be male, female, or something else—and when the American Psychiatric Association releases their new manual, it will be perfectly normal. In May 2013, the APA will publish the DSM-5 , the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders . A significant change will be the reclassification of Gender Identity Disorder to “Gender Dysphoria.” “Dysphoria” is a word meaning “emotional distress.” Proponents of the change believe it is a positive step, removing the stigma of mental illness from a group of people—not all of whom feel the need for psychological counselling. Critics, on the other hand, including one former president of the APA, maintain that the change is motivated by politics, rather than science. “We know there is a whole community of people ou
