Man sues Apple claiming iPhone turned him gay

A Russian man has launched a lawsuit against Apple, claiming an iPhone app turned him gay.

He says this comes after an incident involving GayCoin crypto-currency.

Saying he suffered moral harm, he is asking for one million rubles (£12,000), according to a copy of the complaint seen by the news agency, AFP.

Homosexuality was decriminalised in Russia in 1993, but anti-gay prejudice is still widespread.

In 2013, Russia passed legislation banning the spreading of what it described as gay propaganda.

This officially bans the "promotion of non-traditional lifestyles to minors" but in effect outlaws LGBT activism. A number of campaigners have been attacked and killed in the past year.

So what's happened?

In a suit filed on 20 September, it is claimed a crypto-currency called "GayCoin" was delivered via a smartphone app, rather than the Bitcoin he had ordered.

Crypto-currency is basically virtual money - like an online version of cash - and Bitcoin and GayCoin are some of those currencies

According to the complaint, the GayCoin crypto-currency arrived with a note saying: "Don't judge until you try".

"I thought, in truth, how can I judge something without trying? I decided to try same-sex relationships," the complainant wrote.

"Now I have a boyfriend and I do not know how to explain this to my parents."

He adds that his "life has been changed for the worse" and he "will never become normal again".

Apple "pushed" him "towards homosexuality through manipulation", he claims.

"The changes have caused me moral and mental harm."

Sapizhat Gusnieva says the company "has a responsibility for their programmes" despite the alleged exchange taking place on a third-party app.

The court will hear the complaint on 17 October, according to information on its website.

Apple has not yet responded to Newsbeat's request for comment.

This is what he looked like when he used Android:

And this is him a week after using an iPhone:

He looks happier after using the iPhone, so I don't know why he's complaining.

Only way a iPhone will make you gay is if you ram it in your ass repeatedly.

Nope, tried it and didn't work.

 

[SLoWMoTIoN]

Sapizhat Gusnieva? What kind of a name is...oh Russian. That makes sense.

Nope, tried it and didn't work.

Are you sure? That is pretty gay.

 

[Stilton Disco]

It's a damning indictment of the clown world we now find ourselves in, that this story is positively quaint in its simple stupidity.

 

[DESTROYA]

Nope, tried it and didn't work.

You weren’t doing it right.

 

[highrider]

Nope, tried it and didn't work.

That’s kind of like saying I’ve been cruising the bars, letting dudes have their way with me, but I’m still not gay!

 

[Starlight Lotice]

How can one be unhappy after being in relationship with a Gay man?

The GayCoin didn't make him gay, he was already gay and using an American Company as an excuse for his "problem".

 

[The Cockatrice]

Is BBC becoming The Onion?

 

[Mohonky]

I believe it

 

[Prison Mike]

Well that sucks

 

[TUROK]

What the fuck even is this story?

 

[kingwingin]

"I thought, in truth, how can I judge something without trying? I decided to try same-sex relationships," the complainant wrote.

"Now I have a boyfriend and I do not know how to explain this to my parents."

 

[infinitys_7th]

I wonder what his pickup lines were at the Eurotrash gay bars he went to?

"The cryptocurrency on my iPhone told me to try new things. I think it meant your dick."

 

[Insane Metal]

You weren’t doing it right.

Yeah you have to put it in sideways

Edit: a friend told me

 

[Gamerguy84]

This guy clearly didnt yell "no homo" when he purchased it.

 

[Prison Mike]

Good job he never bought cutyourdickoffandputitinablender coin

 

[lock2k]

Anecdotal, but all gay people I know own iPhones and love apple shit. Not all iphone owners are gay, but the former is true in my case.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

Have Russians always been insane? They seemed like fairly normal Europeans before the Soviet Union.

It's more like the world is becoming The Onion.

 

[poppabk]

I know how this guy feels. Damn Nike and their 'Just do it' slogan. On an unrelated matter please donate to my "buy me some meth" gofundme.

 

[John Day]

I shit you not, i never though The Onion would become a creditable journalistic source.

Not fucking kidding.

 

[Constant Flux]

I’m really glad that my iPad Pro didn’t turn me gay. I was seriously worried it was going to, but it didn’t!

 

[CyberPanda]

[TheGreatYosh]

I can relate. I got some Bitcoin once, and became a Libertarian.
