From Pink News UK:
Apple has apparently removed an app from its iTunes store which rails against gay marriage and LGBT rights. The app, created by a Christian group, disappeared from the online store after media attention, first reported on PinkNews.co.uk. It was based on the Manhattan Declaration, a manifesto released in 2009 by Christian and Catholic leaders which rails against the “erosion” of marriage.
The question remains, will Apple forbid the so-called “ex-gay” hate group Exodus International from building a planned App?
The answer is YES if Truth Wins Out has anything to do with it. After all, it will not be very difficult to show Apple that Exodus is a hate group that demeans and dehumanizes LGBT people.
Exodus should really stop wasting time and money on an App that will most likely be doomed. Truth Wins Out will do everything in its power to make sure that this abusive, rabidly anti-gay App never sees the light of day.
I sure as hell hope so!
After Steve made a deal with Rupert Murdoch for an iPad news app I don’t know what to expect from Apple. The days of “Think Different” and “Here’s To The Crazy Ones” are long gone.
You’re signing the wrong petition:

Yes, Apple repair store. It is suppression to stop an app dedicated to forcing kids against their will to suffer in “x-gay” bootcamps with unqualified “counselors” who may seduce them.
Glad to know you are an anti-freedom pervert.
A boycott of the Apple Repair Store in New Orleans us in order. Will forward to activists in the French Quarter.
Lolololol what the hell is “reverse suppression”? Is that anything like “reverse discrimination”, which is basically when a privileged majority gets told by a minority to behave like they have some decency?
Maybe you should aim your petition at the Apple store instead, since they have a Terms of Service that all app developers agree to follow when they submit their apps, which means lots of “offensive or defamatory” (Apple’s words) apps are having their “speech” “suppressed”, including racist ones.
Or does free speech only start to matter when it involves LGBT people?
You guys have f*****g lost it. You’re a disgrace to the gay community and I want no part of it.
Someone shows up and points out the obvious- that you guys are being douchebags- and you want to protest a business…
How do you you extract “forcing kids” out of “rights for all”? What is going on in that warped and twisted head that you can DENY the political science that are in front of your face: If we can censor apps- that’s a step BACKWARDS for us. Then opens doors for them to censor pro-gay apps. You are blindsided by your anti-Christianity.
Pro-gay apps are defamatory?
Take it up with the Apple store. They’re the ones with the TOS. They do waaaay more “censoring” than we do.
By the way: Exodus still gets to say whatever they want. They just can’t get special favoritism when it comes to breaking rules that they agree to when they submit the app.
Awww I know. It’s always anti-Christianity when fundies don’t get to do whatever they want, whenever they want.
