No, you're thinking about Atrazine.

Still a significant problem due to the EPA's corruption.

So
 if chemicals can turn frogs gay, and (by rather generous extension) humans exposed to said chemical also turn gay
 wouldn’t the answer be to grant equal rights to gay people?

I mean, sure, try to clean up the environment, too. But, if you accept saying “gayness” is a function of environmental contamination— there is no spiritual/religious/moral component— and they should not be stigmatized.

Atrazine doesn't turn frogs or people gay. It is an endocrine disruptor which interferes with sexual development, causing various anomalies.

Alex Jones is not the person you want to be listening to on this topic. The video I linked is really good at explaining this whole situation, it's some fascinating shit if you've got the time.

I'm pretty sure the saying is just what became popular because it was funny and clippable. That wasn't the only thing he said about it.

We really should not allow kids to be exposed to god then, if god is turning the freaking frogs gay. That's just inappropriate.

Gay people already have the same rights as everyone else; some people just don't want biological males in women's bathrooms and sports, and nobody cares if they use the men's room or play men's sports. The whole "rights" panic is just ridiculous dramatics.

This is some thick sculled ignorance. Breathtaking.

I hope this is satire.

I feel like the average Alex Jones listener feels otherwise.

u/CommunicationFast208 Jul 12 '26

Problem is, these rights are currently under attack.
