Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out

An anonymous reader writes Citing the need to abide by a law combating "gay propaganda," a memorial dedicated to the late Apple founder Steve Jobs has been torn down. This comes on the heels of new CEO Tim Cook coming out as gay. "In Russia, gay propaganda and other sexual perversions among minors are prohibited by law," ZEFS (a Russian group of companies that originally erected the statue) said, noting that 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."

Hint, I am not Russian nor of Russian ancestry. Do almost share a time zone but am very far away and live in what is becoming a rather lame vassal state of the US, forced to embarrassingly share and spread US propaganda and of course pay tribute in the form of wastefully buying US military hardware. So purely based upon the global gestalt of internet medium without the blinders of US exceptionalism, appears to be the developing trend, with the TPP being the final straw.
