“THEY’RE TURNG THE OGS GAY“: THE PSYCHOLOGY BEHD TER NSPIRACY THEORI

Are they really turng the ickg ogs gay and the tth behd the maculizg movement.

HERE'S WHY ALEX JON'S RANT ABOUT CHEMILS TURNG FROGS GAY WAS CLOSER TO BEG TE THAN YOU MAY HAVE REALIZED

So when he said the famo offhand ment 'they are puttg chemils the water that are turng the ick ogs gay' back 2010 was super easy to ignore him. Alex Jon, the far-right rad host and nspiracy theorist of Infowars fame, claimed chemils the water are turng ogs gay.

There is also no evince to suggt that chemils the water n affect human sexualy or imply the US ernment is tryg to make children gay wh juice box, as Jon claims. Has a history of repeatedly sharg unfound nspiraci that man-ma chemils the environment uld be makg children gay or transgenr and g the femizatn of boys and masculizatn of girls. The basels claim that chemils – particularly tap water – uld turn people gay has gaed populary wh nspiracy theorists over the years, most memorably wh nservative rad host Alex Jon, who said chemils the water were “turng the igg’ ogs gay.

Alex Jon did a segment about the gay ogs aga on his At, Texas-based InfoWars show 2015, which I had by then listened to for half of a , and for which I had no regrets. He was alludg to what he had claimed for years is the homosexualizatn of life on Earth via chemil stratn by the shadowy powers that be. In 2015, he reported the rporate state was “puttg chemils the water that turn the igg’ ogs gay” between bouts of asmic sweaty rage that climaxed slammg his fists on his InfoWars stud sk.

ATRAZE – “TURNG THE FROGS GAY?”

The first time I heard Alex talk about 2013 or so, I never diligently looked to the data behd the gay ogs thg, and I rarely brought up sual nversatn, then or now. They pearl-clutched like only hen-peckg CNN anchors n, breathlsly accg him of promotg homophobia, transphobia, etc. The gay ogs thg routely tops the list of lazy “Alex-Jon-nspiracy-theory-roundup”-type articl when hacks have adl and need some h slop for their bove rears.

But the pticis turng the ogs gay claim is oddly specific — one that warranted, my timatn, a send glance. Which begs the qutn: when the Proceedgs of the Natnal Amy of Scienc of the Uned Stat of Ameri publish scientific evince of ptici-duced hormone disptn, are they also promulgatg homophobic nspiracy theori? Chemils the water are turng ogs gayOne of Jon' most notor nspiracy theori is that the ernment is g chemils orr to turn people gay, g a myster "gay bomb" vised by the Pentagon.

"The reason there's so many gay people now is bee 's a chemil warfare operatn, and I have the ernment documents where they said they're gog to enurage homosexualy wh chemils so that people don't have children, " he said on his broadst 2010, acrdg to NBC years later, the theory took a turn. In a rant that has sce bee a meme and a le of t-shirts, Jon said he didn't like the ernment "puttg chemils the water that turn the igg' ogs gay.

ATRAZE – “TURNG THE FROGS GAY?”

""The majory of ogs most areas of the Uned Stat are now gay, " Jon said 2017. The claim was whout 1994, a ernment lab did requt funds to pursue the velopment of a weapon that would turn enemy batants gay, though the project was quickly shelved and no such weapon was veloped.

A 2013 report Gizmodo not that the same lab also requted fundg for "bad-breath bombs, flatulence bombs and bombs signed to attract swarms of stgg sects to enemy batants, " notg that "the gay bomb is certaly the most novel. Many of you probably heard of our favore crazy nspiracy theorist Alex Jon, who claimed that chemils found the US water is turng the ogs gay...

THE FROGS AREN’T GAY (SADLY)

The ogs exposed to the atraze, as opposed to the ntrol group who weren’t, started exhibg distct homosexual behavr. Not only did they engage homosexual sex wh one another, as the attendg scientist, Tyrone Hay PHD, said of the ogs, their behavr beme “femized.

The gay og has taken on a surprisgly proment role ntemporary environmental culture.

Primarily associated wh Amerin shock jock Alex Jon and the so-lled alt-right, fears of ogs beg turned gay by hormon water have neverthels entered the mastream, while gay og mem are shared onle by ers om across the polil spectm. This article offers a genealogy of the gay og, suatg this recent moment the longer history of “sex panics” over gay animals scribed by queer elogists, and the ntext of an ongog backlash agast femism and trans liberatn. It argu that the potency of the gay og as alt-right symbol riv om the pacy of the og to stantiate racialized and sexualized anxieti about borr crossgs.
