A Russian man is seeking one million rubles ($15,000) in compensation after an app he downloaded to his iPhone apparently turned him into a homosexual.

According to media reports, Sapizhat Gusnieva mistakenly downloaded the crypto-currency app called “GayCoin” when he apparently meant to download the all-the-more heterosexual app Bitcoin.

After mistakenly downloading the app, Gusnieva alleges, via court documents, it came with the instructions “Don’t judge until you try”.

In his affidavit, the victim reveals: “I thought, in truth, how can I judge something without trying? I decided to try same-sex relationships.

“Now I have a boyfriend and I do not know how to explain this to my parents.”
