Exodus International

A self-described "christian organization", it distributed the iPhone application that claimed to "cure" people of being gay or lesbian. Exodus International's president at the time was Alan Chambers.  It contradicted itself claiming the app did not attempt to cure gays, but it's message recorded elsewhere has been "freedom from homosexuality".

Hate Groups
Exodus has received the support and defense of Southern Poverty Law Center-certified hate groups. These include:
 * Family Research Council
 * Focus on the Family

Gay App FAIL
After a petition signed by over 150,000 people on change.org, Apple removed the application from its online store on March 22, 2011. This happened despite positive write-ups by magazines claiming focus on business, such as Forbes] that published an article by [[Victoria Pynchon repeating Exodus talking points almost word-for-word.
