St. Petersburg has been taken down in response to last week's
announcement by the CEO of Apple (Tim Cook) that he is gay.
In a statement, ZEFS, which according to its website owns
construction, advertising, and finance enterprises in St. Petersburg,
describes Tim Cook's revelation "a public call to sodomy."
ZEFS said Monday it was taking down the statue because it violated
Russia's controversial law protecting minors from homosexual
propaganda. The law has been condemned by critics as a means of
repressing sexual minorities in the country.
Apple declined to comment on the removal of the statue, which featured
former CEO Steve Jobs.
