Anthony Blair for The Daily Star:
An iPhone user is suing Apple after claiming an app on his phone turned him gay.
The plaintiff, identified only as D Razumilov, argues he became “mired in same-sex relationships” this summer after getting involved in a cryptocurrency app. He is seeking one million rubles (£12,459) in damages, the Moscow Times reported.
In a complaint published on Wednesday, Razumilov says he received 69 GayCoins on a cryptocurrency payment app he downloaded onto his iPhone in 2017. The unknown sender of the coins reportedly wrote a message in English for Razumilov which he interpreted as “don’t judge without trying”. Razumilov said in his complaint: “I thought, indeed, how can I judge something without trying it?” And so, because of this message, he said he began having same-sex relationships.
The man has accused Apple of “manipulatively pushing me toward homosexuality”, which he says has caused him “moral suffering and harm to mental health”.
Moscow’s Presnensky District Court registered the lawsuit on Wednesday, according to the court database, and has scheduled an interview for October 17.

Confiscate any firearms he might own, and add him to the can’t buy list.
Hah – good one 😂
the only reply that matters here! lol
The only thing my iPhone ever gave me was tendinitis in my phone holding hand!
You’re holding it wrong.
Oh my goodness. This is hilarious 🤣.
Goeb’s final straw?
LOL…
Hey Apple, I’m straight. I need a few mill. Please? Since your phone and porn made me straight…..(the horror)
If he wins I don’t want to take a chance so I will boil my iPhone in oil until I am sure it is done. Is he demanding damages?
I bet he voted for Hilderbeast
You’re probably right. Since all of Liddle Donnie’s fans are still in the closet.
(See how easy it is to make stupid insults online? Now grow up, willya?)
I agree. Your insult is stupid
Its not a insult if he’s right.
And he is right
Dd, You didn’t read the story. He lives in Moscow so he supported the favorite son.
Are you sure this isn’t a cross-post from The Onion?
WTF?
MDN is so desperate for clicks it will post just about anything. Except useful info about the Mac or, you know, news that a halfway intelligent person might find useful.
Polite applause. Don’t want to get moderated again.
People are crazy.
What’s even crazier is that he found a lawyer to take his case.
That’s just because of Apple. In addition to phones that turn people gay, Apple has so much money it causes people to lose their sanity.
Tort reform. Please.
Is April Fool’s Day here already?
Not that there’s anything wrong with that?!?
