Firestorm Brewing Over Christian App for “Homosexual Strugglers”

Mar 17, 2011 · 2747 views

An app from a Christian Ministry is “designed to be a useful resource for men, women, parents, students, and ministry leaders” over what it calls “homosexual strugglers.”

The free app comes from Exodus International, a group that says it has “over 35 years of ministry experience…committed to encouraging, educating and equipping the Body of Christ to address the issue of homosexuality with grace and truth.”

The Exodus app, which has been approved in the “lifestyle” category of iTunes since February 15, is the subject of a change.org petition to have it removed from iTunes.

So far over 6,500 people have signed it. The statement for the poll explains why:

“This new iPhone app is the latest move in Exodus’ dangerous new strategy of targeting youth. In light of the recent wave of LGBT youth suicides, this tactic is particularly galling as it creates, legitimizes, and fuels the ostracism of LGBT youth by their families.”

Many of the customer reviews on iTunes are upset that Apple has approved it.

    And who makes homosexuality such a struggle in the first place? This is like komodo dragons hawking antibiotics to their own prey animals after they’ve bitten them. Only lower, more venomous and even more cold-blooded.
