‘Gay frogs’ and atrazine
The claim was popularized by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who cited studies on the herbicide atrazine, known to induce spontaneous sex reversal or hermaphroditism in certain frog species, to assert that the U.S. government was "putting chemicals in the water that turn the friggin’ frogs gay" as part of a "chemical warfare operation". [1]. During public comments at a recent Palm Beach County Commission meeting, a speaker told commissioners to make sure that local governments here are removing fluoride from the drinking water. Florida is poised to be the second state to ban fluoride in drinking water.

Alex Jones gained significant attention for ranting about chemicals turning frogs gay. While his science was flawed, the story was loosely inspired by real research involving a common herbicide called Atrazine. Its widespread use as a herbicide in industrial farming and corn production has been hotly contested over its environmental impacts. European regulators have banned it for its impact on the environment.
Theorizing the Gay Frog

Now, who will stand against Tyranny and who will stand for free speech?

Well Jones took the UC Berkeley report about the pesticide atrazine turning a species of frogs from male to female and told his followers that, once again, the U.S. government was using "chemical bombs in the water" to turn the population gay. The study was intended to determine the cause of a worldwide decline in amphibian populations. . Infowars' Alex Jones has a long history of inflammatory, anti
