Want to Express Hatred Toward Gay People? There's an App for That... (change.org)

It is a little weird that Apple's "ratings" for age appropriateness of apps is totally based around sex, drugs, "strong language" and violence, but doesn't take stuff like this into account. While I don't think the app store should screen material based on ideological grounds, marking something like this as "4+" seems like they've taken an unreasonably narrow view of what's inappropriate. Really, the craigslist app I used to look for apartment listings is marked as 17+, but homophobic propaganda is appropriate for kindergarten kids?
