A man in Russia has issued a lawsuit against Apple, claiming that his phone turned him gay. The man, named only as D. Razumilov, was upset when he was given 69 GayCoins of cryptocurrency instead of Bitcoin he had requested. He says money was accompanied with the message: “Don’t judge without trying.” He says: “I thought, indeed, how can I judge something without trying it? And decided to try same-sex relationships.” He says he is now “mired in intimacy with a member of my own sex and can’t get out”.
