"There's an app for that", "curing" homosexuality style

  I feel like anyone that's "converted" to homosexuality has just mastered lying to themselves; I really don't believe your sexuality is something in your power to choose, especially when in many cases it'd be easier or make more sense to be straight. Sure, not being straight is more accepted now than it used to be, but there's still a lot of grief in the world over it. >.<
  
  As for the app...I think it's kinda unfair to say Apple condones it just 'cause it's in the store. It's just...there, just like books are in a library to read even if we don't like it or they say things that aren't smart.

  
  
  oh this is what monkey was talking about. Apple claims they approve apps before they hit the store so yah.

  Sexuality is indeed proven to be something you don't choose. Your just.. born that way. Anyone who claims otherwise is in deep denial/lying.

  Considering that my rape made me like men (or rather.. take a sexual interest in them?), yeah. I'd have to agree there.
  Otherwise I'd probably only prefer feminine people sexually/romantically, and not the occasional masculine guy. DEH MIND ISH TWISTED.

  I am now confused as to your gender, elaborate. (and don't even think about turning this post into something its not meant to be)

  :P
  Gender: Androgynous.
  Sex: (born a Female) Male.
  
  But as most guys, I like women and just femininity in general. tl;dr guy who raped me was pretty masculine and for some reason my mind twisted this around and gave me a sexual attraction to masculine men and a love for hardcore, kinky sex. (in the style he used) I still don't find masculinity attractive romantically, though.

  I don't understand why people just can't leave others alone. Why should they care what other people do? Like seriously. You'd think they'd have the "I'm not going to hell, they are" mindset and just not care what others do.

  
  
  Unfortunately, people like proving that they're "right," and by doing so they must push their beliefs onto others.

  *murders the apple company* 'teach' them 'mericans' to tell me who i can or can't love.

  I'm guessing these people are either:
  
  1. Part of the Westboro Church
  
  C. Trying to make a quick buck off of religion
  
  Either one of the two makes me sick.

  It probably is, in a way. I never bothered thinking about it much as you can probably understand.
  
  I do wish people wouldn't be so forceful with these kind of things. They're usually the types who--if you mention or try and force YOUR religion on them--will go all batshxt. People.

  The problem is that apple has to approve them. They've rejected all kinds of apps that had to do with sexuality yet they allow this, and a rather discriminatory one to boot.

  Jesus sent his disciples and prophets after he resurrected and left for Heaven to spread the word of Jesus Christ. I guess these people are following those same people, like most Christians do.
  
  As for the article, I don't have anything to say about this. Not offensive or negative, just nothing.

  And this is yet another reason I am glad I don't buy Apple products.

  They just love piling it on, don't they? Though I pity them for not knowing it's something you can't 'cure'.

  
  
  My teacher is totally jesus everything he does is for the lord
  he's 71 and the happiest man I've ever seen
  when we discussed the gay topic, he believes that you can't help being gay and
  the "homosexuality is immoral" stance doesn't apply anymore

  yep, but it's not like they thoroughly check them
  because I've seen tons of scam apps
  
  Either way, I don't buy apps
  I get cracked apps
  haven't had a problem yet.
