Apple Bans "Ex-Gay" App

Responding in part to a petition by All Out, Apple has banned an "ex-gay" app from the iPhone. Pink News reports:

A Christian app has been banned by Apple for claiming to help users ‘cure’ themselves of homosexuality, it remains available for download by Google Android users. The app called Setting Captives Free claims: “Despite what you may have heard elsewhere, you do not have a ‘homosexual gene,’ nor were you born this way with no hope of freedom. You can be set free from the bondage of homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ and the cross!” The app was banned from Apple’s App Store in the past hour. A spokesperson for Google confirmed to PinkNews that the company is investigating the complaints made about the app.
