A Russian iPhone user is suing Apple for 

‘turning him gay’

A Russian man is suing Apple and asking for $15,000 in damages because he says his iPhone “manipulatively” turned him gay.

According to The Moscow Times, the plaintiff has been identified as D. Razumilov and he said that he downloaded a cryptocurrency payment app onto his iPhone in 2017.

But this summer he says he was sent 69 Gaycoins, an LGBT+ cryptocurrency, from an anonymous sender. The gift was accompanied by with the message “don’t judge without trying.”

His complaint against Apple was published by the radio station Govorit Moskva on Wednesday (October 2), and in it he wrote: “I thought, indeed, how can I judge something without trying it? And decided to try same-sex relationships.”

”After receiving the aforementioned message, my life has changed for the worse and will never be normal again.”

Razumilov accused the tech giant of “manipulatively pushing [him] toward homosexuality.”

He claimed that the $15,000, or one million rubles, in damages would be compensation for “moral suffering and harm to mental health.”
