Hey.
That is a memorial monument to the late Steve Jobs in St. Petersburg, Russia. Today it was removed. Why?
"In Russia, gay propaganda and other sexual perversions among minors are prohibited by law," ZEFS [The group of Russian companies who erected the monument.] said, noting that the memorial had been "in an area of direct access for young students and scholars". [It was on a college campus.]
"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.

Can we please stop trying to find "common ground" with Russia? Just keep them at arm's length. Any ground we stand on with them is contaminated. The Russian people are despicable.
