ST. PETERSBURG LAWMAKER SAYS OPENLY GAY APPLE CEO TIM COOK SHOULD BE BANNED FROM RUSSIA 'FOR LIFE'

BY KYLER GEOFFROY

Vitaly Milonov, the St. Petersburg lawmaker behind the city's anti-gay "propaganda" ban and the disruptions at last month's Queerfest, is now calling for a lifetime travel ban on Apple CEO Tim Cook, who came out publicly as gay earlier this morning.

Buzzfeed reports:

“What could he bring us? The Ebola virus, AIDS, gonorrhea? They all have unseemly ties over there,” St. Petersburg city council member Vitaly Milonov told the FlashNord website on Thursday. “Ban him for life.” [...]

Milonov, an MP in St. Petersburg whose local “gay propaganda” ban became the basis for the controversial federal law passed last year, is an iPhone and iPad owner but recently declared that an iPhone 6 his “European homophobe friends” gave him was too vulnerable to U.S. spying for Russian officials to use.

Earlier this year, Apple was asked by Russian LGBT organizations to cut ties with Russian phone retailer Euroset following comments made by the company's creative director suggesting that gays deserved to be burned alive in furnaces.

OMG, the liberals and gay activists will be shocked, just shocked, about this. They will go into meltdown mode and have their hissy fits the way they like to do, when they feel outrage about something. I’m sure MSNBC will give major coverage to talk of banning a gay company head from Russia.

Went to the apple store last month and never saw such a weird looking group of employees. Tats, piercings, strange hairstyles. Wasn’t sure if I was in a circus or a horror show. The vampire girl with purple hair was kind of cute though in her black leather.

Yet again, we get proof that gays are incapable of getting over themselves. Is there any reason at all that we need to know what Cook does with his, and others’, schlongs? Their compulsion to share is symptomatic of a larger sickness.

I took my sister to the Apple store in Lancaster (PA), 2 weeks go to get her iPone & iPad straightened out from an iOS download fart, and the collection of staff and customers in that place reminded me of the hilarious ‘Bar Scene’ in “Star Wars”. Meh.

Its all nice and heroic for Sodomites (not "gay" because as a group they are not happy but most miserable, medicated, and suicidal as a group statistically) to come out of the closet and get placed at the highest pinnacles of society. However, when they do get to these levels, they immediately seek to silence and/or destroy all opposition to their perverted lifestyle. Just look at Mayor Annise Parker of Houston..."...as it was in the days of Lot, so shall it be at the coming of the son of man..."

I thought I’d puke when he said being gay is one of the greatest gifts he has received. It’s not a gift. It’s a curse.
