IEksodus yamazwe aphesheya ngumbutho wezenkolo obekwe eOrlando, eFlorida ozinikele "ekukhokeleni abo bantu kunye neentsapho ezichaphazeleka bubufanasini." Impikiswano yenzekile xa umbutho wavelisa isicelo sokusasaza lo myalezo ngeAppStore.
Ukuvela kwesi sicelo kwamkelwe yiApple, inkampani exhase isizathu se-LGTB ngaphezulu kwesihlandlo esinye, iphakamise ingxwabangxwaba phakathi kwabaphembeleli boluntu lwamafanasini, abathi kwangoko bathumele isicelo esidlangalaleni kuApple ukuba asirhoxise ivenkile. Kwiintsuku ezintathu kamva, iApple yabhalela abadali besicelo ibazisa ukuba irhoxisiwe "ngokonzakalisa inani elikhulu labantu."
En Actualidad iPhone sikwazile ukwenza udliwano-ndlebe UJeff Buchanan, ophethe ukusasaza umyalezo phakathi kwabafundi. Olu dliwanondlebe luza nembono kwaye ijolise ekwandiseni impendulo ethe yabangela ukurhoxiswa kwesicelo kweli qela lenkolo kwaye iyintoni injongo yomyalezo othi, ngokutsho kwabo, "awunantshutshiso" kodwa uquka ithoni yobufanasini ngokweqela le-LGTB.

Ndiyazi ukuba le yayiyimpembelelo ebalulekileyo kumlo wam nobufanasini. Kum, ndafumana ukunqamka okunzulu notata kunye nesini sam esinegalelo elikhulu kuphuhliso lwam lokutsala abantu besini esifanayo. Kwafuneka ndize kwisigqibo sokuba ndiza kuphila ubomi bam ngesihluzo sokholo lwam hayi isihluzo sesini sam.

Kuya kufuneka sihlale sikhombisa uthando nemfesane kubantu, usapho kunye nabahlobo abachatshazelwe ngumcimbi. Baninzi abantu abanemibuzo kwaye bafuna iimpendulo. ICawe inoxanduva lokufikelela kwabo basokolayo yile mibuzo. Icawe kufuneka ibonakalise uthando nemfesane kaKristu kubo bonke abakwindawo ye-GLBT. Uninzi lunoluvo olungeyonyani ngeCawa kwaye kufuneka babe namava okholo oluyinyani. Ngelixa singalalanisi kwinyaniso yeZibhalo, kufuneka sidlulisele uthando lukaKristu kubo bonke.

I-PO U-Apple ulinganise usetyenziso lwabantwana ngaphezulu kwe-4 +. Ngaba uyavumelana nolu nqanaba? Ngaba abazali kufuneka banxibelelane nale app kunye nabantwana babo?
JB Ewe, sikholelwa ukuba inqanaba lokuqala elibonelelwe yiApple lalichanekile. Siyakholelwa ukuba abazali kufuneka bahlale bethatha inxaxheba ngokufanelekileyo xa kuziwa ebantwaneni nakwitekhnoloji yanamhlanje. Isicelo sisebenze njengesixhobo solwazi.
