I urge you to study this page from the Manhattan Declaration carefully, decide whether it reflects your beliefs, and if so, to indicate your agreement by signing the petition. Here is an excerpt:
Despite the claims of some, the Declaration does not promote hate or homophobia. It is not anti-gay. Rather, it proclaims that all human beings are loved by God and are worthy of respect.
Civil discourse is a hallmark of a civilized and free society. Disagreement is not hate. We urge you and Apple, therefore, to promote communication and civil dialogue on these important social issues by reinstating the Manhattan Declaration App.

Signed, thanks for the heads up.
I have to say, I’ve always supported Apple’s right to pull whatever it wants. Then again, I also support the right of people to petition them about this.
I’m shocked they yanked this app. Here’s hoping they reverse themselves, because what’s being said about the Manhattan Declaration is insane.
I support the act but Apple is a private company they can do what they want.
No dispute from me on that, Herb. People like us are private persons, too, who can let Apple know how we feel about what they do. That’s all this is.
Here’s an update at 11:30 am, December 2, from the Manhattan Declaration:
This just adds to the reasons why I am no an apple person. GO android.
Think different.
(Think wrong.)
Think different… NOT.
Think different.
(Isn’t group-think great?!)
