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.

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.

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. 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.

"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.

""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.
