(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 soliders to become gay, and to have their units break down because all their soldiers became irresistably attractive to one another," Hammond said after reviwing 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 must be a joke... surely? My apologies if this has already been posted.

Friendly fire would be pretty damn friendly.

The gay bomb is brought up every few months...but it just never gets old :D

Not entirely true. Hammond's analysis would lead one to believe that enemy soldiers would have their fighting capability impaired simply because they became gay. That would not be the case, rather it would be designed to make them super-horny (which seemed to be the primary goal) but if it were to be able to make them super-horny and gay that would be a bonus point. Hopefully developing intra-unit relationships that could compromise the chain of command. I mean, it gets a bad rap because of how it is portrayed, so very often, but it's certainly someone thinking outside of the box, towards a method of attack that doesn't wind up with massive explosions.

(After all, there's a very good reason the US Military has a policy against fraternization...gay or straight)

Considering the propaganda and bigotry that exists towards gays in the US military, its completely rational.

Of course, in reality, its the dumbest shit I've ever heard of.

This story is very very old. I think the first time I heard it was maybe 20 years ago. Still funny stuff though.

In fact, it's all part of a project to think outside of the box, and have negative, but non-lethal impacts on enemy soldiers. You read the document, it talks about several different non-lethal methods to degrade morale. Inducing nuisance animals to attack soldiers, using chemicals to cause temporary skin discoloration and several other things. Overall, the project seems designed to cause overall weirdness amongst the ranks of an enemy force.

The emphasis on developing a "gay bomb" would seem to originate from the fact that it would be most desirable for such a weapon to wind up with the soldiers wildly attracted to one another. Recognizing that pretty much all of the soldiers in any military that the US might even think it possible to fight in the near future would nearly universally be male leads to the conclusion that an overwhelming aphrodesiac that induces homosexual attraction would be most desirable. That would certainly have an effect on the combat effectiveness of the troops.



All the ideas are crazy, that's what this project seems to be. But sometimes some of the best ideas come from those thinking outside of the box.

Oh sure, you're all laughing now. But you won't find it as funny when the gay bomb explodes all over your face. Actually... nevermind...

I don't see how spending money on an idea based in bigotry is thinking outside the box....unless of course said box is tolerance.

If you were kidding, disregard my comment.

I'm not sure whether that's more hysterically funny or deeply depressing.

*sigh* :p

It's also not that new. Elements of it appear in technology that goes into interrogation and breaking down enemy will. Military research into brain activity in response to specific sound frequencies has led to some really interesting discoveries. Apparently a certain specific frequency can cause you to get an uncontrollable erection, and another can make you shit yourself (I kid you not).

I was actually discussing this with my boss the other day (last week in fact). It was in context of wave phenomena, and their sometimes...interesting effects on people.

I don't see how spending money on an idea based in bigotry is thinking outside the box....unless of course said box is tolerance.

If you were kidding, disregard my comment.

I made an addendum to my post.

It's not merely a matter of making them gay, but a matter of making them extremely, extremely horny. That soldiers in most potential enemy countries are almost universally men makes the development of homosexual tendencies important. If it was 50/50 men/women, then a normal overpowering aphrodesiac would work, but in this instance you'd need more.

It depends on whom you were fighting. Where the middle east (where convicted gays are regularly executed) is currently the hotspot (and most traditional nations will be for the forseeable future) the 'gay bomb' would cause a large number of men to be executed because of the crime of being gay in those nations effectively destroying their military capability and or causing them to lose their idealogical ability to wage the war.

The weapon was not conceived to develop permanent homosexual tendencies amongst the targeted units, merely enough to permit other aphrodesiacs to temporarily disrupt unit operations.

Since 1945 there had been extensive research into the effectiveness of the "Who? Me?" bomb, the declassified documents said.

But it was found "that people in many areas of the world do not find faecal odour offensive since they smell it on a regular basis".

Their sample group must have come from Washington :p

What if the bomb's smoke drifted back to their soldiers? Wow, gay sex in uniform. And they'll lose the war. And reduce their population, as it turns a sizable chuck of their men into gays.

No, this love bomb would be used to make enemy soldier have sex instead. Then when they are having sex, they will enter the camp, disrupt the proceedings, and shoot 'em all.

Or they can make it very potent so them enemies would have sex to death.

Whoever coined the phrase "Make Love, Not War" obviously didn't see this one coming.

A shame this weapon didn't even get to the prototype phase, would have been a laugh riot to have this sucker tested over Westborough Baptist Church just to see how well it really works.

On the other hand, if this Gay Gas was actually weaponized, would it be banned by the Geneva Convention as a Weapon of Ass Destruction?

:D

Wow... this is some ignorant ish right here. As if turning someone homosexual would be enough for them to stop blowing your ass up. :rolleyes:

Though I'm still confused how they even thought it would be possible to make someone gay, even for a short period. Even if going on a universal bisexuality theory, just making people horny doesn't mean they are going to go at it with all the samesex people around them, they might just masturbate, a lot. That in itself may be quite a distraction and disrupt the cohesion of the group....

It is my entirely unscientific opinion that the army is a huge gay bomb in itself.

Here you have a large group of men, in fabulous matching uniform, all of whom take time to hone their bodies into pec-tacular condition, living together in big tents and marching up and down squares in perfect synchronization. They're so organized!

It's one huge gay cabaret.

That's why they're so aggressive, they're simply repressed gay people who don't want to own up to it. If they'd just start boning each other, perhaps they would be a whole lot happier and we'd all have a little peace.

That's why we have war.

*nods*

Funniest chemical weapon ever proposed.

Seems amusing to me, though I don't think pheromones affect people the same way all the time.

Oh sure, you're all laughing now. But you won't find it as funny when the gay bomb explodes all over your face. Actually... nevermind...It's sticky.

EDIT: Okay here it is. Why did they think that that would work? I doubt that there is a country in the world that would disarm itself just because their soldiers are all gay.

Imagine if it was used against a country like Iran where homophobia is deeply entrenched. If the bomb actually worked then soldiers might desert rather than risk being 'hit' again. ;)

I think this bomb could have provided a solution to the Israel/Palestine conflict:the Palestinians could have used it to drive the ultra-religious settlers out of the West Bank, and the Israelis could have used it as a deterrent, "Ok Hamas, one more suicide bombing and you'll have front line seats at the pink oboe orchestra, if you get my drift..."

:D:p

Humans are basically animals. A lot of animals in the wild are vulnerable to signals sent by pheromones that trigger a lot more than just a massive boner. It also triggers behavior, such as the male urge to chase away or kill any potential competetion for a female in heat or do something to attract said females like build pretty nests or bring lots of meat. All that's required is to find the right chemical signals that tells the human brain how to behave in a desired manner and you'll have your Gay Gas. In fact, you'd also stumble upon a sort of mind control gas as well in a way.

I bet this is giving major headaches to some human rights groups...the gay-bomb forces people to become raging homos, but thats tricky, cos being gay isn't wrong, making them gay is...oh! My head is spinning with all the ethical and moral angles :p

seems to me that incapacitating an enemy with hallucinogens or something that just confuses them would be much more effective. Probably much easier to do that than make a drug that turns someone homosexual

Ok, and what precisely is the correlation between being gay and being suddenly unable to fire a weapon?

It's not the sexual orientation so much as the pheromone being intended to trigger primitive insticts in the human brain so loud and strong to where all they can literally do is find something to screw. Pheromones, like what gets animals to do things they'd never do under ordinary circumstances. Such as walk towards manmade deathtraps in the hopes of getting a little sumpn' sumpn'. Rewiring the brain to temporarily turn the targets gay means they'll have something to immediately satisfy their pheromone-induced fix with.

I guess I am just finding it very hard to believe that people's survival instinct can be overcome to the point that they'd be going at it everywhere and anywhere regardless of their safety.

US military proposed weapon to turn enemy troops gay

12th June 2007 13:01
PinkNews.co.uk writer

Documents obtained under freedom of information laws in the United States have confirmed that the country's military considered developing a "gay bomb."

In 1994 the US Air Force research department requested $7.5m to create a weapon that would release a chemical causing enemy soldiers to become sexually attracted to each other.

The proposal described the weapons as "distasteful but completely non-lethal." Pentagon officials blocked the project.

Edward Hammond used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal and passed it to CBS television.

"The 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 irresistibly attractive to one another," Mr Hammond told CBS.

"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 soldiers would become gay."

Gay groups in the US, where openly gay, bisexual and lesbian people are banned from serving in the military, expressed disgust at the idea of a "gay bomb."

"Throughout history we have had many brave men and women who are gay and lesbian serving the military with distinction," Geoff Kors of Equality California said in a statement.

"So, it's just offensive that they think by turning people gay that the other military would be incapable of doing their job.

"And it's absurd because there's so much medical data that shows that sexual orientation is immutable and cannot be changed."
