Russian monument to Steve Jobs taken down after Apple CEO Cook says he is gay

• Alupis 12y ago
  1) Steve Jobs was not gay 2) They probably shouldn't of had a monument of an American business man in the first place. 3) The article is making a stretch when saying it was taken down because Tim Cook came out. The monument is in the shape of a now-old iPhone and was interactive with Steve Jobs, and was a little dated by the looks of it. Perhaps it was just being taken down. In fact, the article even says that before the announcement, the monument was flagged to be taken down for repairs. I see a link-bait article here.

    Probably because you only read the headline. The article quotes a press release from the company that owns/maintains the statue explicitly stating that it was removed as a result of Cook's public disclosure.

        "“Russian legislation prohibits propaganda of homosexuality and other sexual perversions among minors,” ZEFS wrote in a statement published on the Web site of Russian radio station Ekho Moskvy. “After Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly called for sodomy, the monument was dismantled pursuant to Russian federal law on the protection of children from information that promotes the denial of traditional family values.”"
