Update: Apple Pulls Anti-Gay iPhone App

Bowing to the requests of tens of thousands of petition signers, Apple has decided to remove a controversial anti-gay iPhone app from their online store. The app, developed by Christian gay-haters Exodus International, had attracted the ire of many on the internet for continuing to propagate the fallacy that homosexuality is a curable disease.
And now it’s gone! Which is great news for all anti-bigots the world over.
As we said previously, Apple’s habit of censoring its app store is a horrible one. But at least in this case they’re censoring something that we vehemently disagree with. Censorship, it would seem, isn’t so bad when it’s working in your favour.
