Exodus International, the notorious “ex-gay” organization, has just released an iPhone app that, according to its website, is “designed to be a useful resource for men, women, parents, students, and ministry leaders.” The Exodus website further boasts that its app received a 4+ rating from Apple, meaning that it contains “no objectionable content.”
No objectionable content? We beg to differ. Exodus’ message is hateful and bigoted. They claim to offer “freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ” and use scare tactics, misinformation, stereotypes and distortions of LGBT life to recruit clients. They endorse the use of so-called “reparative therapy” to “change” the sexual orientation of their clients, despite the fact that this form of “therapy” has been rejected by every major professional medical organization including the American Psychological Association, the American Medical Association, and the American Counseling Association. But reparative therapy isn’t just bad medicine — 
it’s also very damaging to the self-esteem and mental health of its victims.
This new iPhone app is the latest move in Exodus’ dangerous new strategy of targeting youth. In light of the recent wave of LGBT youth suicides, this tactic is particularly galling as it creates, legitimizes, and fuels the ostracism of LGBT youth by their families. According to a study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, LGBT teens who experienced negative feedback from their family were 8 times more likely to have attempted suicide, 6 times as vulnerable to severe depression, and 3 times more likely to use drugs (Caitlin Ryan, San Francisco State University, June 2009).
Apple doesn’t allow racist or anti-Semitic apps in its app store, yet it gives the green light to an app targeting vulnerable LGBT youth with the message that their sexual orientation is a “sin that will make your heart sick” and a “counterfeit.” This is a double standard that has the potential for devastating consequences.
Apple needs to be told, loud and clear, that this is unacceptable. Stand with Truth Wins Out – demand that the iTunes store stop supporting homophobia and remove the Exodus app.
Holy s**t, two Why Are You So Angry?s in one day? Hilarious.
Why are you such a tool, ATM?
Haha okay, I’m done with you guys. Before I leave, I just wanted to say that you guys always have to pull the same stuff. You think everyone is gay, you don’t let anyone have their 5 minutes to talk, and YOU ALWAYS have to make the most noise. You can’t just admit that someone is right? You guys don’t know what you are talking about, And you all say the same thing: stay in school?
Well, God bless you, and I hope you guys will soon see what i am saying. Peace Out!
classic immature young man….give him time folks. With luck, he will grow up. And, he is surrounded by a vast majority of his peers who, when he spouts such nonsense, will set him right.
He is a narcicist, so he will probably read this.
Sorry ATM…Exodus is classed EXACTLY with the other groups I listed it with.
THAT is why Apple dropped it :)
The proff, is in the fact that they did so.
Good luck to you…you have a LOT of growing up to do.
I know. Kids his age usually grow out of their juvenile homophobia during college. It’s strange, though, because so many kids his age THESE days don’t even go through that phase anymore.
Little boy– because you are a little boy.
This is what I was hoping you would see, but with typical little boy arrogance, you wanted to show your elders just how smart you are.
I wrote: “Congress shall make no law…”
These were the first few words of the First Amendment:
“Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
American Teen Male, I doubt everything you say because the link on your name is Fox News and nobody under 70 watches Fox News.
Maybe he aspires to Gretchen Carlson’s intellectual prowess. She did, after all, break that story where the 4 year old told her what God looks like.
American teenager said “To Priya Lynn:Sorry about my grammmar, but I meant to say Forefathers. And there were 41 of them, so I’m not going to list all of them, even though some of them include Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton, Ben Franklin, etc.”.
LOL, I see you’re not sharp enough to realize I was making fun of you.
American teenager said “P.S. If you guys are so “Gay” then why are you say angry?
Gay- highly excited, happy, exuberant.
-Websters Dictionary.”
You should read a little farther in that dictionary American Teenager:
Gay – a : homosexual b : of, relating to, or used by homosexuals
-Webster’s Dictionary.
LGBTs are angry because although we are harmless a-holes like you demonize us and deny us equal rights under the law. You’d be angry too if you were lied about day after day and denied your civil rights.
American teenager said “God bless you, and I hope you guys will soon see what i am saying. Peace Out!”.
Oh, isn’t that sweet. The disingenous a-hole comes here attacking gay people and then gives the obligatory passive-aggressive “god bless you” in a vain effort to pretend he’s not an a-hole.
Also American Teen Male–if you were denied equal rights you’d probably be angry too. But you should probably change your name to American Privileged Teen Male.
