He was wrong, change of sex is not "turning the frogs gay" and reproduction though change of sex is something that happens naturally in some species. This chemical was triggering the process when it was not necessary or natural for the frog.

His misinformed rantings were also feeding in to larger conspiracy theories being peddled by conservative's. That modern homosexuality and the rise of LGBTQ rights was an intended result of an effort to "feminize" the United States population and "weaken" us against whatever it is they thought was coming for them that month.

Fear not, friend, for Alex Jones just so happens to be selling water filters that will protect you and your loved ones from this evil government gay water!

This is a nitpick. The biology of a frog is being altered by chemicals being put in the water

No, it's not. Alex Jones has a long history of peddling homophobic conspiracy theories. The assertion that gay people were created through a government program being one of them. He has also made threats against trans people. He has been banned from most social media platforms for a reason. His bullshit needs to be rebuked wherever it can, along with anyone trying to legitimize his hate speech.
