    The app should be re-named “Is your son a character in a lousy sitcom.” Oh, and they should do a lesbian one and ask about power tools and the wearing of dungarees and combat boots…

  2. “Is your son jewish?” Featuring questions such as, “Is he secretive about his money?” “Is he hard to trust?” “Is his nose his most prominent feature?” See how long it’d take apple to remove that one.

    The Christians are using covert means to locate who is gay. They teach their children to hate and harass gays, Christians have become drones for the devil and are doing the devils work.

      Loony-tunes.

      What one earth has this story to do with religion?

      Get over this obsession, it’s warping your mind.

      1. “Get over this obsession, it’s warping your mind.”

        Says the man who has a daily histrionic rant about his catholicism, or what ever mumbo-jumbom nonsense he calls it.

  5. If someone is stupid enough to believe in this nonsense app, then they deserve to be ripped off.

    I actually laughed and thought it was a joke. Then I saw who had created it and realised that the agenda is serious and rather insipid.
    When will these Christian organisations focus on their faith and the bible rather than being concerned with something that is barely mentioned in their oh-so-holy book.
    When one is obsessed by something, it is usually because one is hiding one’s own desires.

    1. It doesn’t say who its by in the story. It mentions the Christian group Exodus created a gay cure app but they’re not connected are they.

  10. NEW APP!!

    IS YOUR MOTHER A BIGOT?

    1. Did she buy an app about your personal sexual life?
    2. Does she pray her imaginary friends, asking them to make you “normal”?
    3. Is she a christian?
    4. Or even worst a jew or a muslim?
    5. Does she throw holy water on your bed before you go to sleep?
    6. Does she ask you every f—ing day: “Did you find a girlfriend yet?” ?
    7. Is she short, fat, miserable, desperate, old and stupid?
    8. Did she every say to you: “The day I’m going to find out you are gay I am going to Scandinavia and throw myself in the Baltic Sea”
    9. Is she fat? (Oh no sorry, I already asked that…)
    10. Did she find your gay porn magazines and pretended those were sports magazines about male athletes because she simply doesn’t want to accept the fact that you prefer c-ck?

    If your answers are YES the CONGRATULATIONS! Your mother is a f—ing BIGOT!!! yeah!

      I don’t think that being a Jew is worse than being a Christian. For a start there is only one Jewish state and they do not hang gays from cranes like they do in Iran, and secondly, gays and Jews suffered together in the Holocaust.

    Wow! An app that detects if your son is gay? How about a ‘Gaydar’ app for my mobile so I can chat up nice handsome men without having them tell me that they are not gay!!!

  16. It is shameful that PinkNews reports such a superficial matter as this, when it has chosen NOT to report the death of a true gay hero, Dr. Robert Frascino, who died last week.

    See over 300 tributes to him at :

    http://www.thebody.com/content/64008/remembering-robert-frascino-md.html

    1 in 7 gay men in London are estimated to be HIV positive, but news which is of interest to that seventh of the gay population has been avoided by PinkNews.

    To quote the words of blogger PrairieMary on this particular matter:

    “By denying the death – and thereby the existence – of a man who was so deeply loved and so great a contributor to our modern lives, those who sell “propriety” are simply widening the gap in our society between one kind of person and another – even though AIDS is an equal opportunity infector. When even the gay community rejects one of their own heroes they reveal the reservoir of guilt and shame that still prevents a cure. They are ostriches who reveal their plumed rears.”

  18. Only anecdotal, but it’s the sort of story that make you feel that, whatever they believe about themselves, the French are as un-cool as anybody else…

    Homosexuality has been detrimental to society and was responsible for the initial ‘spread ‘ of AIDS. Identifying homosexuals is the first step to a cleaner , more moral society.

      I agree Keith, gay people cannot accept the truth or accept responsibility for things, they shun it and blame others.

    4. Get yourself a list of the great homosexual men and women of history, fool!

      Study the extraordinary contributions they have made to society, fool!

      Consider the fact that up until the Victorian era the term “homosexual” was not used, that homosexuality was not illegal, and that most people were quiet fluid in their relationships.

      Homosexuality was not responsible for the spread of AIDS, you fool. HIV (a virus) was.

  20. Perhaps the REAL question is “Is your son’s mother an idiot?”
    If she has this app on her phone, then she undoubtedly is !!!!
