Free iPhone App Removed for Being Anti-Gay

Change.org represents the Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transexual (LGBT) community who were outraged at a free iPhone 4 application titled “Manhattan Declaration”, a Christian app. It all started when Manhattan Declaration asked it’s users to fill out a survey about how they felt about gay marriage and abortion. If users replied that they approved of gay marriage they received a zero on the survey and were asked to donate.

LGBT got wind of this and began to take action by creating a petition which received over 7,000 signatures. The petition was presented to Steve Jobs(CEO of Apple) and in a short period of time, Manhattan Declaration was removed from the itunes app store. The Christian application company disagrees with Apple’s decision and states that they will fight the removal of their app using Facebook and Twitter.
