Just a day after Apple CEO Timothy Cook boldly came out as gay, a six-feet statue of late Apple Corp co-founder Steve Jobs located in the campus of ST. Petersburg National Research University of Information Technologies, Russia, was brought down by the people who built it, as a response to Tim Cook's new sexual orientation. This came after a Russian Politician.Vitaly Milonov said Tim Cook being gay could mean ''Ebola, Aids, gonorrhea” etc.coming to Russia and called a ban on Apple CEO.
According to them, the statue which was in the form of an iPhone showing information about the late Apple founder Steve Jobs and the company, and was loctaed at a University campus in St Petersburg, it's to abide by a law against ''gay propaganda.'' And also for fear of minors in the area copying Tim Cook's ''new lifestyle.''
''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.''
