The man is suing Apple for damages for 'moral harm and mental suffering'.

A Moscow court on Thursday holds a preliminary hearing in the case of a Russian man who is suing US tech giant Apple for allegedly turning him gay.

Representatives of the two sides are set to meet a judge at Moscow's Presnensky district court for a preliminary hearing behind closed doors starting at 9:40 am . The complaint says Razumilov downloaded a cryptocurrency app from Apple Store but received a transfer of 69 of the GayCoin instead of the Bitcoins he ordered.

Groups campaigning for gay rights in Russia point to ongoing repercussions from the homophobic law banning"propaganda" of gay relationships to minors, which allows for discrimination against gay people.
