Apple is under fire for approving a controversial iPhone app created  by a religious organization that seeks to help gay individuals become  heterosexual. 
  The application, "Exodus International" was created by a ministry of the same name that says its mision is to "[mobilize] the body of Christ to minister grace and truth to a world impacted by homosexuality." 
  The app's description notes, "With over 35 years of ministry  experience, Exodus is committed to encouraging, educating and equipping  the Body of Christ to address the issue of homosexuality with grace and  truth." 
  It received a "4" rating from Apple, which indicates the company considered the app to contain "no objectionable material." 
  Yet many disagree with Apple's assessment and are demanding that it be removed. 
  "No objectionable content? We beg to differ," wrote Trust Wins Out "Exodus' message is hateful and bigoted." 
  Change.org has launched an online petition calling for Apple to remove the app that has garned over 21,000 "signatures."
