A Russian man identified only as D. Razumilov has just filed lawsuit for “moral suffering and harm to mental health” after he claims his iPhone tricked him into downloading an app that made him gay. Really.
Razmuliov claims he received a payment of 69 GayCoins (a form of cryptocurrency) on his iPhone in 2017. According to The Moscow Times, the payment from an unknown sender also came with the message “don’t judge without trying.”
“I thought, indeed, how can I judge something without trying it?” Razmuliov said in his complaint. “And decided to try same-sex relationships.”
The complain continues: “I can say after the passage of two months that I’m mired in intimacy with a member of my own sex and can’t get out. I have a steady boyfriend and I don’t know how to explain it to my parents.”
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
“After receiving the aforementioned message, my life has changed for the worse and will never be normal again.”
Razumilov is now demanding a whopping $15,000 from Apple for his pain and suffering. His court case is scheduled for review later this month.
Frankly, we think if it is that easy to turn someone gay, it probably wasn’t just the app that did so. That, or the guy needs to increase his crypto price.

I’m gonna bypass the ridiculousness of it all and come at this earnestly. Yes, many folks contend with “confusions”. And fluidity is a legitimate thing for some. But downloading an app is not going to ignite it. He was curious enough to download it. He was the one who indulged same-sex sex, and he decided to be in a relationship with a male. You have to take some responsibility for your own choices. A lot of folks get so caught in the “born this way” mentality or get so caught up in their ego, politics, sociology, sense of self. You want what you want. You obviously want to be in a relationship with a male and you want persistent affections and comfort from a male against your “better judgement”. It is what it is.
I will say that liking what you like is often a challenge for many. There are plenty of people who have no issue with saying that they are homosexual, or have same-sex preferences, or same-sex relationship ambitions, or are in same-sex relationships. Yet, they still feel embarrassment towards that and embarrassment towards being viewed as “gay”. Being willing to admit that you “like” something is not enough. You have to like that you like it and like that you love whoever you want love from and a relationship with. If you don’t get to that point your whole life is gonna be a struggle. Furthermore, the dude is likely just looking for a pay day.

confusion is just another way of saying denial.
some just can’t and won’t accept that they’re gay or bi.
fluidity is a joke. bi is bi is bi.

Sorry to break it to you, but there are people who have different experiences and perspectives than you.
“Confusions” usually occur because someone doesn’t not quite know exactly what they want or where you are on the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, relationship spectrum. It’s rarely about someone thinking that they’re entirely hetero or homo. While yes, there are people who develop certain attractions or desires as they get older or those attractions increase as they get older, and there are people who lose certain attractions or desires or they lessen. I’ve experienced “fluidity”. Most of the “queers” I know have experienced it. It is what it is. However, what is incredibly rare is a grown person who’s legitimately homo or hetero and developing a ton of different attractions, desires, romantic interests, as they get older. That’s often more about denial than mostly about fluidity. But yeah, folks experience different things and have different journeys. Get over it. It’s not an assault on your life or your sense of self.

Russian, huh. I guess he could be persecuted for just coming out. Although, I suspect he isn’t gay at all and just a typical Russian extorter. I’d like to see the pictorial evidence.
GayEGO
Gee! I guess Vladimir Putin blocks scientific information from his people that we are born gay. How ridiculous to blame an iPhone!
fur_hunter
I wonder if he gave his correct name. Why? Because now the whole world knows he is a STUPID, IGNORANT, DUMB-A SS, F UCKTARD A SSHOLE, PIECE OF S HIT. I hope EVERYONE totally ostracizes this MORON.

I could not have said it any better. Total BS from the comrade from the USSR, it will always be commie USSR to me.
ShiningSex
LOL!!! You know this lawsuit is going NOWHERE much like a life of happiness denying that he is just gay and NO ONE or NOTHING made him that way. What a moron!!!

Actually I think it would depend on where the trial is and who’s on the jury if there is one. In Russia they could actually believe anything.

That bitch. I want a boyfriend!

More like let him find himself. Say THANK YOU and learn how to live.

Being LGBT is a congenital condition. (developed before birth) Science is finding more evidence for it, every day. Therefore, it is not a sin, which is an outmoded concept.

The results of those studies have shoddy kinda. There have been results that suggest that for “queers” there are elements that are born with that equate to them developing in a certain way. But there hasn’t been anything near definitive, and even these “queer elements” are not consistent in enough to be a domination for everyone or even most people. We really need to move on from this obsession with proving inherent-ness. The gender, romantic, sexual, affection, relationship spectrum seems to be about physiology, psychology and sometimes experience. Some people seem to be born a certain way and some don’t. Either way, it’s something we need to move on from being obsessed with. It’s not equating to a diminishing of hate or people gaining greater self-understanding.

What can I say?
Ridiculous!

It was usually my mother made me gay, to which the usual response was can she make me one too! Wonder if he saw that silly film in which the guy fell in love with his operating system to give him inspiration.

This is a joke, right?

He’s in Russia. If I were him I’d keep my mouth shut!

Apparently they breed people with no free will in Russia.

Hate to break it to Mr. Razumilov, but that’s not how it works. Seriously, get a grip.

Although this is an extreme case, it is another example of “queers” looking for outside forces to blame all their issues on. Past traumas, identity crisis, contending with some level of fluidity or “confusions”, contending with depression or other mental ailments, getting to a place of self-acceptance, understanding and being okay with where you are on the gender, romantic, sexual, affection, relationship spectrum- these are all mostly internal struggles. You can’t take your own internal problems and place them all on outside stuff. And you can’t just fall apart every time you’re on the receiving end of adversity. I feel a lot of “queers” have those types of instincts. This time it falls on an app.

What did he expect to happen when he bought a phone in the iGay box?

I would probably watch this movie if it were on netflix….

“69 GayCoins (a form of cryptocurrency)”
This is what I don’t get about cryptocurrency. Is there a secure bank vault someplace where Gayness is stored to back this currency up?
