"Is My Son Gay?" is the latest controversial app to hit the catalogue for android mobile devices.

From the name of the app, it targets parents who are doubtful of their son's sexual orientation.

The app, once launched, asks a set of 20 questions, which is supposed to set the record straight on the gender preference of the inquiring parent's child.

The New Zealand Herald reports, app questions include whether or not the user's son "likes to dress up nicely" or "pays close attention to his outfits and brand names," whether he likes football or team sports or prefers musical comedies. It also suggests that if the user's son is "shy and quiet," he may be gay. The app even asks the user if, before their son was born, they hoped for a girl.

If the app finds the user's son is straight, it tells the user, "You do not have to worry you, your son is not gay. So there are chances for you to be grandmother with all the joys it brings."

If the app concludes that he's gay, it says, "No need to look the other way! ... He is gay! ... ACCEPT IT! ..."

Gay-friendly Instinct Magazine said that the app is based on the "science of tired and offensive stereotypes."
