(CBS 5) BERKELEY A Berkeley watchdog organization that tracks military spending said it uncovered a strange U.S. military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly turn enemy soldiers into homosexuals and make them more interested in sex than fighting.

Pentagon officials on Friday confirmed to CBS 5 that military leaders had considered, and then subsquently rejected, building the so-called "Gay Bomb."


Edward Hammond, of Berkeley's Sunshine Project, had used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force's Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio.

As part of a military effort to develop non-lethal weapons, the proposal suggested, "One distasteful but completely non-lethal example would be strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behavior."

The documents show the Air Force lab asked for $7.5 million to develop such a chemical weapon.

"The Ohio Air Force lab proposed that a bomb be developed that contained a chemical that would cause enemy soldiers to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviewing the documents.

"The notion was that a chemical that would probably be pleasant in the human body in low quantities could be identified, and by virtue of either breathing or having their skin exposed to this chemical, the notion was that soliders would become gay," explained Hammond.

The Pentagon told CBS 5 that the proposal was made by the Air Force in 1994.

"The Department of Defense is committed to identifying, researching and developing non-lethal weapons that will support our men and women in uniform," said a DOD spokesperson, who indicated that the "gay bomb" idea was quickly dismissed.

However, Hammond said the government records he obtained suggest the military gave the plan much stronger consideration than it has acknowledged.

"The truth of the matter is it would have never come to my attention if it was dismissed at the time it was proposed," he said. "In fact, the Pentagon has used it repeatedly and subsequently in an effort to promote non-lethal weapons, and in fact they submitted it to the highest scientific review body in the country for them to consider."

Military officials insisted Friday to CBS 5 that they are not currently working on any such idea and that the past plan was abandoned.

Gay community leaders in California said Friday that they found the notion of a "gay bomb" both offensive and almost laughable at the same time.

"Throughout history we have had so many brave men and women who are gay and lesbian serving the military with distinction," said Geoff Kors of Equality California. "So, it's just offensive that they think by turning people gay that the other military would be incapable of doing their job. And its absurd because there's so much medical data that shows that sexual orientation is immutable and cannot be changed."

This is both appalling and hilarious at the same time. What's so weird is that this is real.

Have you ever spent days and days and days making up flavors of ice cream that no ones ever eaten before? Like chicken and telephone ice cream?...Green mouse ice cream was the worst.

That's quite disturbing really. I take it the effects would only be temporary. Either way, it's wrong. Forcing a straight person to be gay is as bad as forcing a homosexual person to be straight. I'm all for ending wars, but this really doesn't seem like the best idea. I really hope this is abandoned.

Hmmm. How about 'Bombs over Bangcock."

That is an interesting way to kill people...

Needless to say, I think that they should just drop a real bomb, and get it all over with.

Well if they ended up really using something like that it would go against a person's constitutional rights wouldn't it? Unless the whole army or squad decided that they wanted to suddenly become gay. Sure at least government is starting to think up ways to keep war from happening and maybe I'm wrong, but wouldn't that just start more wars or some other kinds of conflict coming from the ones who were turned homosexual without their consent?

And besides wouldn't the majority of the population be more interested in sex than getting killed in a pointless war? (Or in a war with purpose) Maybe these people are just trying to figure out more "interesting" ways to end conflict. They could just make a non-lethal bomb that takes away your will to fight for a certain period of time or something. Long enough to settle the argument.

Although I'm probably just rambling now. XD I tend to do that sometimes.

Actually, if it's not used against Americans, they don't get constitutional rights. How else are our soldiers allowed to fight terrorists! Oh no, the terrorists each demand a jury before fighting!

Also, I don't think that there is a pacifist bomb, otherwise I would love to use it.

This is funny, did no one tell them that aphrodisiacs are psychosomatic? If I told you shoving fire ants up your nose would make you incredibly horny and you believed me, it would work. Without the superstition to go with it or the knowledge of having been homo-bombed it wouldn’t work. As for trying to make people gay I'll believe it when I see it.

It's been theorized that one's levels of estrogen/testosterone determine sexuality, men who possess more estrogen and women with more testosterone tend to be homosexual, hence effeminate men and butch women [but of course, there are different levels for different levels, perception, processing, communicating, sexuality, and identity so you can get women who process information like men but communicate like women and are straight.. this gets really complex so I'm going to drop it now]

Assuming this is true, they'd have to drop a whole LOT of estrogen and that's assuming you even can synthesize and expose it to open air without destroying it. Not only that but estrogen makes people more monogamous and maternal and less promiscuous, psychology today says what makes a person promiscuous is testosterone and lots of it. Sooooo.. if homosexuality in men requires a lot of estrogen, and being horny requires a lot of testosterone, wouldn’t the two work against each other? They could be thinking of just pumping them full of testosterone and waiting for the prison bitch-scene syndrome to set in, or fighting amongst themselves.



most importantly though, who the fuck came up with this? when you're sittin around the conference room or wherever they make up plans for war, what is going through your head when you stand up and say "hey guys! I just had the best idea ever! Let's make a BOMB that makes people GAY! It'll be hilarious!"

I did NOT see that one coming.
