Apple Approves Gay Social App for Ages 12 and Up
By Melissa Barnhart

Apple has approved a gay social networking app that claims to be safe
for children as young as 12, and aims to lead adults, teens and tweens
to places that are "clean, social and fun."
In the iTunes store, Distinc.tt is described as "an LGBT app that you
can bring home to Mom!" But although it's supposedly safe for children
as young as 12, it specifically states that it was created for "gay
dating and chat" for LGBT or "curious adults" who are 18 and older.
The app reportedly works by using "real-time collective knowledge to
connect trendsetting crowds and travelers to the places and people
that best reflect their distinct interests."

Apple Refuses to Reinstate Christian App

CEO Michael Belkin told CNET
<http://news.cnet.com/8301-17852_3-57615616-71/apple-approves-only-gay-social-app-for-ages-12-and-up/> that
he launched Distinc.tt because he's "disgusted by the tasteless torsos
and imagery on gay social sites and apps." And he wants "the
good-taste part of the gay stereotype to gain traction with
advertisers and cross the mainstream divide."
Belkin launched what is being billed as "the only gay social app
approved by the iTunes store for 12-year-olds and older," with other
investors that include PayPal cofounder Peter Thiel and Keith Rabois,
a former executive at PayPal and LinkedIn, among others.
"Think of it as the ultimate gay accessory. Using an advanced
recommendation engine, Distinc.tt helps you be spontaneous---to get
out there and start something,"
"Distinc.tt takes gay apps to the next level by showing you more than
just guys with phones. Use it to find places to go, meet people at
those places, coordinate with friends while you're out, you name it.
It's about doing, not chatting."
Apple, meanwhile, has been chided by conservative Christians over its
censorship of religious material -- namely apps that affirm marriage
is between a man and a woman. In recent years, Apple has pulled the
Manhattan Declaration, Setting Captives Free, and Exodus International
apps.
