Apple Removes Exodus App

Apple has removed the iPhone app for Exodus International, the notorious "ex-gay" organization that promises to help people with "unwanted same-sex attractions."  For a price, of course.  After a petition campaign and letter from a doctor whose 1992 research has (and continues to be) distorted by Exodus, Apple has acted.  The American Psychological Association, American Medical Association, American Counseling Association, and the Psychiatric Association have all said that "ex-gay" therapy is harmful and ineffective.  You can be sure that Alan Chambers and company will squeal about what victims they are, but at least they won't be allowed to victimize others through iPhone apps any longer. 

Wayne Besen on Christine O'Donnell's "Ex-Gay" Advocacy

Last night, Wayne Besen of Truth Wins Out appeared on Rachel Maddow to discuss Delaware GOP Senate candidate Christine O'Donnell and her deep involvement in the crackpot "ex-gay" industry, which takes troubled and desperate gay people and, for a price, promises to cure them of the gay.  It's all a lie and a scam, but Wayne can explain it much better than I can:



Besen also wrote the book Anything But Straight, which I have read and highly recommend. 

By the way, I loved his tie.
