Thread: Russia dismantles Steve Jobs memorial as 'gay propaganda' after Apple CEO comes out.

Moscow: A memorial to Apple founder Steve Jobs has been dismantled in the Russian city of St Petersburg after the man who succeeded him at the helm of the company, Tim Cook, came out as gay.
The two-metre-high monument, in the shape of an iPhone, was erected outside a St Petersburg college in January 2013 by a Russian group of companies called ZEFS.
Citing the need to abide by a law combating "gay propaganda", ZEFS said in a statement on Monday that the memorial had been removed on Friday - the day after Mr Cook, Apple's chief executive, announced he is homosexual.



"In Russia, gay propaganda and other sexual perversions among minors are prohibited by law," ZEFS said, noting the memorial had been "in an area of direct access for young students and scholars".
"After Apple CEO Tim Cook publicly called for sodomy, the monument was taken down to abide to the Russian federal law protecting children from information promoting denial of traditional family values."
Promoting "traditional values", President Vladimir Putin last year signed a law prohibiting the spread of "gay propaganda" among minors.

Mr Putin says there is no discrimination against gay people in Russia and the law was needed only to protect young people, although members of the gay community say its passage has increased problems for them.
ZEFS - or West European Financial Union - groups companies offering a range of products and services in areas such as real estate, construction, advertising and microfinancing.
Mr Cook said he had decided to come out to help move forward civil rights, confirming a fact that had been widely known in the Silicon Valley tech community but was rarely discussed.

Vitaly Milonov, a St Petersburg legislator who has campaigned against gay rights and was among legislators behind the law signed by Mr Putin, has called for Mr Cook to be barred entrance to Russia, Russian media have reported.

Maxim Dolgopolov, the head of ZEFS who ordered the removal of the monument, expressed opposition to personal sanctions in Monday's statement, but supported the "protection of traditional values" by law.
"Sin should not become the norm. There is nothing to do in Russia for whose who intend to violate our laws," he said.

Gay propaganda what the fohk. Apple is gay for a start with so they should never have had it erected in the first place.

It's great that some countries are standing up for wholesome values.
it must be nice for children to grow up in a normal society.
What a refreshing difference to the west, with gay shame marches, and gay wrongs promoted.
Time to lock up the Homosexuals separately in secure hospitals, at least until a cure is found.
The homo affliction seems to worsen in it's sufferers, when they are surrounded by others gays , like there is some awful static feedback loop in play .

Proclaiming publicly that you are 'proud' of your sexuality is not appropriate behaviour. Sexuality in general is a personal matter.

Homosexuals are the only sexual proclivity to proclaim pride in their inclination.

It is not a source of pride. It is a simple biological fact about themselves not a personal achievement.

Stating in an interview, discussion or media article that you have no shame about your homosexuality is fair enough but even that more moderate position is not a reasonable cause for holding a street demonstration due to the private nature of the sexual act. I think anyone marching in the street to proclaim 'gay pride' should be arrested on public obscenity laws.

Steve Jobs memorial dismantled because Tim Cook comes out.

Guess it makes sense in a Russian sort of way.

Actually, this whole Homosexual issue shits me to death.


I really do not give a flying fuk if Bruce wants to stick his knob up Peters arse but please don't try and tell the whole fookin world that its normal human behavior.

Fook me EH. It fookin sick innit.

Have you ever witnessed, participated in, or been held up on the way to work by a gay pride march?

If not, why home in on such topics like a dog confronted with a plate of sausages at 500 yards?

Same question to you. If you're so bored by it, why read about it?

Yes I saw a Gay Pride march in Adelaide a few years back. The problem is not about being delayed getting to work. The problem is about the offence caused to the general public by holding a demonstration to proclaim your pride in your sexual orientation. Many homosexuals think it is normal to hold such public demonstrations. I do not want to see anybody on the street, homos, bestialists, heteros, necrophiliacs, onanists or paedophiles holding a public demonstration about their sexual orientation.

Did you have fun? Sydney ones are better, they draw a world wide crowd.

Ive got a better question for you ghost:
Would the Apple batty man have turned gay if it had been raised in Russia ?
I doubt it . There seems a far far lower rate of homosexuality there
Perhaps it the girls .
Perhaps its less sexuality uptight society .
less processed food ?
No fag propaganda.
Strange how empires on the brink of collapse be they American. Roman. Greek etc are always riddled with homosexuality .

Russian girls the preventative cure for homosexuality :

Fantastic in bed



Disciplined


Good in the kitchen


Verdict
If Tim Cook had lived in Russia then he would now not be leading a skin-crawlingly filthy homo lifestyle, would not be raked with self disgust and suicidal thoughts .

WHo cares - steve Gobs was a coont anyway.

I saw some gay shame event in York England , it was just getting set up on the race course.
I think it was part of some bent festival,.
The sick thing was the number of children taken there by their misguided liberal parents; it was even designed to look fun for them .
Catch them young ...
just like Nazi Germans did with the Hitler youth...

I didn't notice that yesterday. It's bizarre. Gay by association?

I guess the old adage of six degrees of separation and distant association can be cause for most anything nowadays....usually by extreme reasoning.

I presume - to remain consistent - you would also not approve of a wanton parade of heterosexual topless 19 year old girls?

So long as they were bisexual I would definately have no objection.

Looper old chap, did nothing in the rest of my post give the hint that I was writing tongue in cheek? I thought the bit about the trebuchet might have been too much, but apparently not..

^Yes I see that now. Sorry, I was having a slow day yesterday.

Sexuality is a uniquely emotive and adult topic for good evolutionary reasons. Human societies everywhere treat sex as a taboo subject to some degree and to be handled with care. Sexual activity of all persuasions is kept private 99% of the time. We can enjoy pornography these days due to video recording technology but it is generally treated as something to be kept secret and not discussed in polite company. Sexuality is not a suitable subject for street demonstrations.

I strongly disagree. Sex sells, look at advertising for one, TV shows, fashion, country specific where its a booming tourism industry, its not a taboo subject by any means. Same sex marriages legalized in some places.

Yes of course the powerful nature of the sexual instinct means that allusions to sexuality creep into aspects of our everyday lives TV, movies, advertising etc. the fact that sex is taboo, titillating and risque is what makes these strategies succeed.

Whenever sex is addressed directly rather than obliquely the subject matter will get a censorship rating and its audience will be restricted to 18+ or whatever. I think sex is an adult subject and censorship is appropriate. Street demonstrations where people proclaim pride in their sexual activities are offensive, cringe-worthy and embarrassing and have no place in a society with any sense of sexual modesty which all human societies have always had.
