It's gobsmacking. I hope Apple come to their senses and pull it pronto.

I did like what the Stonewall guy said (in a Guardian article) - something like "we've been using this app since 8am and I can report it hasn't worked"

I'm quite happy as I am thanks. I definitely don't need "curing".
Hopefully Apple will remove it, though it should never have gotten through in the first place!

Isn't Apple's acting CEO described as " "most powerful gay man in Silicon Valley"?

YANBU hideous app by some stupid Christian group and I say that as a Christian. These nutters don't speak for me.
Can't believe Apple let it through.

Bump for the petition link. At least nobody thinks IABU now DaftPunk's gone.

YABU - to be shocked that is - things like it are rife - kids are pasting 'you're sooo GAY' all over FB - seems to be acceptable to be homophobic again. I think society is going backwards in many ways. Apple should be ashamed of themselves.

If it makes them money from the pig ignorant then of course the're going to sell it.
