It is a global outcry against Apple in progress because of an application ("app" in the jargon), issued on the bitten apple online store. The combination of "ex-gays" Exodus International has released a fact "app" for iPhone, while not containing any explicit material offensive, has kicked off an online petition (already signed by 100 thousand people) is applying removal from the Digital Store.
Exodus The association has long set itself the goal to "liberate" men and women "from homosexuality through the power of Jesus" and on its website states that it is "the largest Methodist community of those who fight against the attraction unwanted same-sex and trying to live a life that reflects the true Christian values.
" The app connects to the iPhone by the contents of the site of the association, reports the blog posts and current events. But, inform the associations have launched the petition, "the so-called 'reparative therapy' of homosexuality, was invalidated by the major professional medical organizations like the American Psychological Association, the Association of American doctors" and this supposed " therapy ", they add, is harmful to those who submit." Ben Summerskill, Stonewall head the organization, told the Guardian: "Apple should consider the attention raises the gay community in its consumption." We are one step short of the boycott campaign.
Steve Jobs's company has drawn up guidelines for developers of applications. Are prohibited pornographic, violent, racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic. But this time there is no trace of it: it is the same "name" of Exodus to be offensive to the gay community. Nevertheless, it is not inconceivable that Apple can find a short-term ploy to block the application (and even this controversy).
