Pentagon Confirms It Sought To Build A 'Gay Bomb'

(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."

1994.... gay bomb experiments.... Dayton Ohio....

Man, don't they know anything about the Spartans...this would be a bad idea.

Wow, I guess it's better to kill people than have them turn gay. We could easily win this war. Send a bunch of exxtremist Christians over with gones, then drop the gay bomb on the enemy. I bet the war would only last a week. If the gay bomb makes people gay, why doesn't the smart bomb increase intelligence?

This is the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. Goes to show that everyone is very misinformed about how homosexuals think and feel. "Oh, I'm gay, let's make love not war!!!" Riiiiiight.

Makes one wonder if things like this are planted so the media can find them and turn our attention to this instead of whats really happening behind close doors.

I think there may have been some collateral damage.

wow...

I have nothing else to say. Where did this idea come from? hey, lets make them so attracted to the man next to them they wont be able to fight? wow.

This country proves day after day how stupid it is

Seriously though, I had to double check that link three times to make sure it wasn't coming from the Onion. I think they would have better luck with the "Viagra Bomb" ... because the enemy armies would all be at the hospital with 4 hour erections.

I think someone already dropped it on California....Not that there is anything wrong with that.

Imagine the practice room when the rookies fail to disarm the gay bomb in time.

Which is still the stupidest thing I've heard in a long time. Think of the horniest you've ever been in your life....now, would you do it with a guy just because he's there? Didn't think so.

I don't think they were actually testing a gay bomb theory, i think they were testing the scientist who actually believed they could turn someone gay.

Id just use one of my sock's and hide behind a cliff

Who was President in 94 again? That's right, it was Clinton. This is all his doing.

Everyone knows (that used to listen to Rush) that gays aren't very good fighters. It's the lesbians we need to worry about.

Dicclaimer: The views in this post are complete nonsense and not to be taken seriously.

lol....

I just had this disturbing visual of the entire Iranian army in one big orgy while singing that Dom DeLuise song from Blazing Saddles.

Maybe they can come up with a JagerBomb that gets the enemy drunk but not too tired.

Man, oh man, this is the dumbest article I've ever read. Just embarassing.

I'm still trying to get those Superman X-Ray vision glasses I bought for $ 9.99 as a child to work....


The ladies at work are become quit disturbed with me....

We could just fly over, with Gm hanging his butt out ,and gas all of them!

That wouldn't work. It gives them way to big of a target to shoot at.

So what you are saying is, you've got one big bull's eye?
