Thanks to the good folks over at Gawker for coming up with an extensive list of ways to know if your child is gay, based on some psychologist’s conclusion that “gender-variant behavior” is a good predictor of future sexuality. Some choice excerpts:

• The first thing on your daughter’s Christmas list is flannel shirts. The second is a bond for college tuition. (Smith is expensive!)
• Your son tells you he wants to dress up for Halloween like his idol, Entertainment Tonight‘s Mary Hart.
• Your kid requests a Justin Bieber haircut. This is true for children of both sexes.

Important things to keep in mind, friends.
