The concept involved dispersing sex pheromones to induce mutual sexual attraction among enemy soldiers, with the intention of causing confusion and disrupting military cohesion. Dating back to , the Wright Laboratory in Ohio , a precursor to the modern United States Air Force Research Laboratory , drafted a three-page proposal detailing several potential nonlethal chemical weapons.

The gay bomb would be a cloud of gas that would be discharged over enemy camps “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.” Basically, the pheromones in the gas would turn the soldiers gay. The " Halitosis bomb " and " Gay bomb " are informal names for two theoretical non-lethal chemical weapons , which a United States Air Force research laboratory speculated about producing. In the Wright Laboratory in Ohio , a predecessor to today's United States Air Force Research Laboratory , produced a three-page proposal on a variety of possible nonlethal chemical weapons, which was later obtained—complete with marginal jottings and typos—by the Sunshine Project through a Freedom of Information Act request.

The reports also include many other off-beat ideas, such as spraying enemy troops with bee pheromones and then hiding numerous beehives in the combat area, and a chemical weapon that would give the enemy bad breath. The proposal, believed to have originated at the Wright Laboratory in , was part of a wider weapons development program that, perhaps unsurprisingly, was eventually abandoned. According to documents obtained by the Sunshine Project, an organization opposed to biological weapons, the concept was indeed being considered seriously at the time.

The "gay bomb" proposal has since earned its place in the annals of bizarre military history, standing out as one of the most outlandish and controversial ideas ever to emerge from a weapons research program. These weapons, however, are not your typical tear gas or stun grenades; they are not even your James Bondian poisoned umbrellas or heart attack guns. Rather, they are more like something out of a Monty Python sketch.
