This is a phone snapshot of a picture hanging in the guest bedroom of my mom’s house. The little one is brogrit at about 1 year old, and the other one is me at about 5 years old, circa 1973.
He’s sporting blingy bells on his shoes, and I’m all pimp in my purple outfit.

You may have heard or read the news about a controversial app for the Android phone: Is My Son Gay? Out of a silly sense of curiosity, I looked up the questions allegedly asked by this app. I then sent the 20 questions to my mother and had her answer them regarding me — and my brother. Since both my brother and I have proven to be totally heterosexual, (though I must point out that he is still unmarried, and lives with a guy), and I have no idea how the Is My Son Gay? app calculates a determination from the answers, I thought it would be interesting to see how we come out looking based on our mom’s answers.
Mom answered these 20 questions from her memory of us as pre-teens and teens, when we lived at home.
