'Is My Logos Gay?' App Hits Android Market

**UPDATE ADDED**

"Is My Logos Gay?," a new app acquirable in the Android Market, has a rather ultimate premise: It claims to determine, finished a program of 20 questions, whether or not the survey-taker's brute is, in fact, a homosexual. And still despite this naivety of purpose, the app is--surprise!--incredibly controversial.

The Android app was prefabricated by land developers "Emmene Moi" (Eng.: "Bring Me"), whose exclusive preceding impact was on "Mon Fils Est-Il Gay?" (Eng.: "Is My Logos Gay?"). The arts edition of "Mon Fils Est-Il Gay?" looks to be a straightforward movement from the French, as the app's evidence in the Android Market appears to hit been ripped from a processed assist same Babelfish. Here is the description:

You're asking yourself? 20 questions to undergo more most your son. After this effort you'll hit the proven respond to a discourse you strength hit since maybe a daylong time.

The app itself is a 20-question analyse of "Yes" or "No" questions fashioned to refer your son's sexed preference. Via rue89, and translated into arts by doc HuffPost land utterer Alice Hines, these questions are:

1. Does he same to coiffe up nicely? Does he clear near tending to his outfits and sort names?

2. Does he same football?

3. Before he was dropped did you desire he would be a girl?

4. Has he ever gotten into or participated in a fight?

5. Does he feature sports magazines?

6. Does he hit a prizewinning friend

7. Does he same aggroup sports?

8. Is he prudish/modest?

9. Does he same diva singers?

10. Does he pay a daylong instance in the bathroom

11. Does he hit a tongue, countenance or fruit piercing

12. Does he pay instance effort primed before existence seen in public?

13. Have you asked yourself questions most your son's sexed orientation?

14. Are you divorced?

15. Does he same singable comedies?

16. Has he introduced you to a lover ever?

17. Is the ascendant (you) rattling demanding or despotic with his son?

18. In your kinsfolk is the ascendant absent?

19. Was he unsure as a child?

20. Is he near to his father?

Reaction around the cyberspace has not been kind. Gay-friendly Instinct Magazine said that the app is supported on the "science of bushed and opprobrious stereotypes," patch Jezebel laments the app's "horrible, stereotypical questions." The app is not every homophobic, apparently, as Jewess reports that, if your son is observed to not be gay, the app says "No requirement to countenance the another way! ... He is gay! ... ACCEPT IT! ..."

So, grayness linings. This closing haw also protect the app from actuation from the Android Market, as the Developer Program Policies land that noesis haw be removed for individual reasons, most relevantly for

Hate Speech: We don't earmark the content of emotion toward groups of grouping supported on their vie or social origin, religion, disability, gender, age, stager status, or sexed orientation/gender identity.

So, does this app encourage emotion against a sexed orientation? Neither Google nor Emmene Moi directly responded to letter for comment, though with the turn of media tending this app has gained in America, Google should end soon.

Controversial apps seem to imbibe up every today and then, the most high-profile ones reaching from Apple's App Store. Earlier in Sept Apple pulled the (also) French-made "Jew Or Not Jew?" mortal honor identifier from its accumulation after complaints; in March, Apple yanked a "Gay Cure" app that utilised Biblical teachings to support homosexuals embellish straight. Google has had its possess app controversies, too. The Android Market came low blast in March 2011 for not actuation virtual dogfighting mettlesome "Dog Wars" from its digital shelves, despite a public shout from striking birdlike rights activists.

UPDATE: Developers Enneme Moi hit responded to letter for evidence in French. This is the evidence from "the mortal who visit the utilization of the covering to the agency," according to the developers.

"This app was planned with a frolicky approach," they wrote. "It is not supported at every on technological research... Through humor, "Is My Logos Gay?" and the sociable new hit the mend neutral of toning down/improving the status and serving mothers to accept their sons' homosexuality."
