NEW YORK, Sept. 28 (UPI) -- A Google Android app aimed at mothers who think their son might be gay has some gay advocates cringing, a report said.

CBS New York says the "Is My Son Gay?" smartphone app asks 20 questions such as "Does your son dress well?" "Is his best friend a girl?" and "Are you divorced?"

Eliza Byard, executive director of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Educational Network, said the questions are "horrendous stereotypes that would be completely laughable if they weren't so dangerous."

The developer of the app said it is meant to be a humorous approach towards helping moms accept their sons' homosexuality, the report said.
