Watch: Metro DC PFLAG's David Fishback vs. Peter Sprigg on the Homophobic Exodus International iPhone App 

 

Metro DC PFLAG's Advocacy Chair, David Fishback, appeared on Fox 5 earlier this week he was again facing off with Peter Sprigg from the Family Research Council. This time they were debating the iPhone app put out by the anti-gay hate group, Exodus International, which promotes "freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ".

Thankfully since the airing of that broadcast, Apple has removed the controversial app.
