Then again that would mean that I have to get offended every time I get a visit from a Jehova's witness that wants to 'cure' my atheism. Believing I'm wrong for not having the same religious believes is their prerogative (an there is absolutely nothing wrong with that), but being offensive is not telling me they think I'm wrong, it's telling me that it doesn't matter what I think because there is only one correct religion to follow without letting express my point of view. Freedom of speech comes with dangers and responsibilities that lean on your shoulders. If you're gay, it's your choice to come out or not. When you do so you automagically earn the right to defend your position when being confronted with an opposing point, and you also get the danger of being ostracized from a specific social group. That's not the opposing party's fault, nor is it yours, it's just the way the world works wether we like it or not. I might get kicked out of the basketball court cause I'm white, or banned from a church because I'm an atheist, which is for all purposes not fair (in the grand scheme of things), but the same way I'm being given the choice to choose who I am and who I socialize with, a social group has the right to exclude people that don't match their qualifications. Don't get me wrong, I agree that it sucks and it's definitely not fair for certain parties, but look at it this way: If you're a popular kid in high school and you want to hang out with the cool people, it's your right to exclude the people that are not cool as long as you don't violate their rights. If you're playing tennis at a private club at which you're not actually a member and the authorities that manage said place want you to leave, it's their prerogative to kick you out. If you're gay and you come by an application to 'cure you with prayer' you have the right to NOT download it, as well as you have to right to express your disapproval as long as you're not violating anyone's rights. The same way that people that agree with the applications use have the right to download, use, and incite the use of said app - once again, without stepping over other peoples rights. At the end of the day we all have the human right to make our own choices and live with the consequences of out actions. If an action is going to alienate me from a social group I have a choice. I have a choice to go ahead with whatever belief I might have, or I might value more the social interaction I might get excluded from. Gay people have two choices in this matter, if you agree with their point of view, you can download the app (a high schooler might need to get laid and drink booze to get into the crowd, illegal notwithstanding, he's free to make his own choice to either fit in or not). If you don't you can ignore it and then make a blog post about how you're unhappy with the apps existence. Every person has a right to dislike me and my beliefs, and that's fine. They, however, have no right to violate my rights while disliking me and my beliefs... and this app is not violating anyone's rights while preaching their beliefs through it.
