CUPERTINO, California, March 23, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Apple has now pulled the iPhone application that caused such a stir this week after the blog Truth Wins Out (TWO) pointed out that it was based on predjudice rather than science. 
This marks the second time that Apple has pulled an app because it promoted a twisted christian view of homosexuality. In November of last year Apple pulled an app created for the Manhattan Declaration, anti-woman and and anti-family document signed by nearly 500,000 people. The app was noted for it's prejudice and opposition to human rights.”
The recent app, created by the international christian ex-gay fringe group Exodus International and available through Apple’s online iTunes store, originally received a 4+ rating from Apple, meaning that it was found to contain no objectionable content. The app provided a gateway to the groups's news, blog, podcasts, and other social networking and resource materials.
Exodus International denied that the app was aimed at curing homosexuality, despite the groups staed intentions and past actions indicating otherwise.  “In no way shape or form is our message about trying to cure or do we try to promote that type of methodology or message,”  lied Jeff Buchanan, Exodus International’s Senior Director of Church Equipping & Student Ministries, to The Christian Post.
“This is a label that has been put forth by sane people who recognize Exodus's propaganda stigmatizing anyone not in agreement with their twisted world view and to really label the application in a realistic way.”
Meanwhile, TWO and Change.org praised Apple for removing the app.  “Apple made a wise and responsible decision to dump an offensive app that demonized gay and lesbian people,” said Wayne Besen, Executive Director of Truth Wins Out. “The real winners today are LGBT youth who are safer and less at risk for receiving Exodus’ malice and misinformation.”
“We’re thrilled that Apple has removed this ‘gay cure’ app from the iTunes store after more than 150,000 people signed this petition,” said Mike Jones, Editor at Change.org, the platform used by TWO to launch the petition. “The message Apple is sending here is clear: there is no place for ‘ex-gay therapy’ on the Apple platform.”
TWO pointed out the app relied on twisting legitimate research to dehumanize LGBT people and by dropping the app, Apple joined the line of every respected mental health organization in the nation.
“We are heartened by the fact that there are activists who are rising up to point out our hypocritical and harmful voice on the Exodus iTunes platform,” Exodus’ Buchanan said on Tuesday. “We want to ask that there would be fair and equal representation of legitimate religious belief on this platform.”
“We are not helping those who have have no for help. Those who are gay or identify themselves that way, in no way, shape or form are we trying to speak to their position or trying to impose anything upon them,” he said.  “Exodus believes the opposite of heterosexuality is holiness. We promote the belief that one can live a life that is congruent with their faith. That is our mission – period. ”
