Not really much of a valid reason, and certainly not one for people to get upset about, any sane person will just dismiss it for the nonsense it is.

If someone wants to create one, then why not. It would be laughed at by the vast majority.
Why is it that when anyone happens to disagree with anything homosexual they suddently get "offended", the source is "Homophobic" and the tolerance they so desperately promote suddenly vanishes.

GLB = Gay/Lesbian/Bi (sowwy, must learn not to use TLAs (three letter abbreviations)

I suppose in the end it's if Apple want the "Extreme religion" buyers or the "gay" buyers.. and it'll be decided as to who has the most spending power in the app world

Well it seems odd that they should tolerate those being intolerant of them. I don't think they are being intolerable towards heterosexuals but they are quite combative against those who express disdain or have a problem with them.

So Apple let an app get released that thinks homosexuality is a illness?

An app that Some Christians made because they think being gay is a sin.
Quote:
Exodus upholds heterosexuality as God’s creative intent for humanity, and subsequently views homosexual expression as outside of God’s will. Exodus cites homosexual tendencies as one of many conditions that beset fallen humanity. Choosing to resolve these tendencies through homosexual behavior, taking on a homosexual identity, and involvement in a homosexual lifestyle is considered destructive, as it distorts God’s intent for the individual and is therefore sinful.
Instead, Christ offers a healing alternative to those with homosexual tendencies. Exodus upholds redemption for the homosexual person as the process whereby sin’s power is broken, and the individual is freed to know and experience their true identity, as discovered in Christ and His Church. That process includes the freedom to grow into heterosexuality.

I'm not anti gay. but I am anti Christian because of their ignorance. this app being another example of it
everybody is anti something if you think about it. the question is whether the ignorance is on their side or your side.

But they just accuse me of not being tolerant of them whilst they're not being tolerant of others.
we're all Gods people. if God really doesn't approve of gays. then let him say so in the way of a sign or something. instead of letting us believe the word of a few of his closest followers.

See, even homosexual men are trying to get it to work.... otherwise they wouldn't have paid for it would they?

So, just to be clear here, you are anti-Christian "because of their ignorance" - so you think all Christians are ignorant ?
You might want to re-think that.

That's why I steer clear of these weight watchers apps.
