Apple has approved an iPhone app that encourages LGBT people to take part in “conversion therapy,” a practice that has been scientifically disproved and that can be quite dangerous to LGBT people, particularly young LGBT people, who are at high risk of suicide.

Yep. Here’s a petition calling on Apple to stop being evil reconsider.
