'GAY CURE' Apple iPhone app: more than 80,000 complain

Apple is under fire from gay rights activists after it approved an iPhoneand iPad app targeting "homosexual strugglers".
More than 80,000 people have signed GAY CURE Apple App? against the so-called "gay cure" app, which Apple deemed to have "no objectionable content".
Exodus International, the pro-Christian group behind the app, promotes the "ex-gay" movement, encouraging people to change their sexuality. The app gives users "freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus", according to the group.
Apple had not returned a request for comment at time of publication.
Ben Summerskill, the chief executive of gay rights group Stonewall, said: "At Stonewall, we've all been on this app since 8am and we can assure your readers it's having absolutely no effect.
