is my son gay? in case you're wondering....

there was an android ap called "is my son gay?" I read about online here.
basically it asks these 20 questions...
1. Does he like to dress up nicely? Does he pay close attention to his outfits and brand names?
2. Does he like football?
3. Before he was born did you wish he would be a girl?
4. Has he ever gotten into or participated in a fight?
5. Does he read sports magazines?
6. Does he have a best friend
7. Does he like team sports?
8. Is he prudish/modest?
9. Does he like diva singers?
10. Does he spend a long time in the bathroom
11. Does he have a tongue, nose or ear piercing
12. Does he spend time getting ready before being seen in public?
13. Have you asked yourself questions about your son's sexual orientation?
14. Are you divorced?
15. Does he like musical comedies?
16. Has he introduced you to a girlfriend ever?
17. Is the father (you) very strict or authoritarian with his son?
18. In your family is the father absent?
19. Was he shy as a child?
20. Is he close to his father?

hmmmmm.. although stereotypes would probably lead people to just asking number 9 and 15 ---- ha . The app is obviously pretty ridiculous, I mean some of these questions would seem to bypass the whole born this way stance in the first place. Mothers, you don't need questions, you'll know, a mother always knows, right? ----

How many questions do you have to get right to be considered gay? That is considering that there are right and wrong answers. Why didn't they just put the direct question "Son, are you gay?"

The question could be a pre-recorded and garbled but understandable, and the father would just have to push play. This way if the answer is not what the father is looking for they could both just pretend that it was some weird accident on the phone, and brush it off as nothing, and going about their lives denying everything.

Or better yet, don't give a shit one way or the other and just love your son for being your son.
