Angry Responses to Google's 'Is Your Son Gay?' App

The Android program 'Is Your Son Gay?' has recently hit the market and has outraged gay-rights groups, with one brandishing the app 'ridiculous and horrifying'.

Suspicious that your better half is cheating on you? You can find out for sure, provided they have an android phone.

The controversial app asks parents 20 questions, including 'does he like to dress well?', 'does he like football?', 'does he like musical comedies?' and 'does he like Madonna?' to help them discover the sexuality of their son.

Once the quiz is completed parents receive one of two answers- 'You have nothing to worry about, your son is not gay.' Or it informs parents: 'Your son is gay. Accept it and know it's not his choice.'

Meanwhile, the French developer of the app insisted that the concept was meant to be a humorous approach towards helping moms accept their sons' homosexuality.
