pentagon admits considering 'gay bomb' proposal

Although rumours about the 'gay bomb' initially surfaced in 2004, San Francisco's CBS 5 News station reported last Friday that Pentagon officials admitted military leaders had considered, and then subsequently rejected, building the so-called gay bomb in 1994.

A military watchdog group that tracks military spending revealed that it has uncovered a US military proposal to create a hormone bomb that could purportedly cause enemy soldiers "sexually irresistible" to each other.

"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.

He added that the government records he obtained suggest the military gave the plan much stronger consideration than it has acknowledged.

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. The documents show the Air Force lab asked for US$7.5 million for a six-year project. An Air Force lab reportedly sent a proposal to the Pentagon which suggested weaponising "strong aphrodisiacs, especially if the chemical also caused homosexual behaviour."

"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 irresistibly 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 soldiers would become gay," explained Hammond.

"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 added. "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."

Gay community leaders in California were quoting as saying that they found the idea of a "gay bomb" both offensive and almost laughable at the same time.

wat a joke....
2. 2007-06-13 19:47  
maybe its not a bad idea.. just, maybe.....
the government would have no choice but to acknowledge homosexuality as a 'mainstream sexuality' and provide equal housing, medical and social benefits. then it wouldnt seem so bad afterall, no? =)
3. 2007-06-13 19:56  
Actually, this would have been the most constructive thing to ever come out of the US military.
4. 2007-06-13 20:03  
bad idea!! the us army will still attack and kill the enemy anyway. unfair war! typical.

if thats the case.. the bomb should first be release in white house. the president will be so gay. if he still insist on war.. then all over u.s. NO WAR at all.
they will then be busy bitching about each other and comparing dick size instead of military power.

what a hoot...."the best thing to ever come out of the US military efforts"...I LOVE that comment....it sounds like a book review. I can just see it now..a newly released Hollywood blockbuster epic movie....The Gay Bomb...starring Arnold Swartzenneger and Mel Gibson as two US army generals who fall in love after being exposed during war games exercises in the State of Utah where Swartzenegger had just announced his candidacy for US President. What if during the research and development stages, an experimental "gay-bomb"exploded and exposed the general population...the USA would become GAY-USA. Would the population stop growing? Could this be the sought after solution to global warming? Drop the gay bomb over the White House and the Capitol Building...watch Teddy Kennedy become irresistable to Obama, or Mr.Bush to his "running mate" Mr.Cheny...now there are a couple nausiating mental images. My god, this article is FULL of hilarious scenarios and jokes...we MUST express our heart-felt thanks the US military for their sense of humour and a great belly laugh.

"sex bomb, sex bomb.."

Obviously, the Pentagon have forgotten about the Sacred Band of Thebes of ancient Greece.

Quoted from wikipedia:
"The reasoning behind the Sacred Band was that lovers would fight more fiercely and more cohesively at each other's sides than would strangers with no ardent bonds."

hmmmm ... and what if such a bomb got into the wrong hands... like a bunch of discontented hard core gay fundamentalists intent on converting the rest of straight humanity into drama queens and at any cost! OMG chaos would ensue! Would the more moderate gay community stand up to these gay terrorists to counter the breeder backlash? Just think of the insurmountable obstacles the gay rights movement would face...
10. 2007-06-13 22:25  
The start of fagwars? Ha ha....Could work better then their starwars project.
11. 2007-06-13 22:58  
Make love, not war....now that was a good idea!
12. 2007-06-14 02:40  
It sounds great...haha...gay becomes the mainstream and that do away with lots of discrimination...and it will not be a great problem to find a spouse then =P
13. 2007-06-14 03:28  
Can I get a small bottle of that thing?
14. 2007-06-14 04:44  
Uhm, doesn't this already exist in the form of methamphetamine?
15. 2007-06-14 04:45  
WOW It's almost like spreading a virus that causes people's skin pigmenation to turn into white, black, yellow or any other racial color for that matter, and conducting genocide! Maybe the UN needs to revisit the definition of genocide to include sexual orientation too...just in case people are crazy enough to follow through with such proposals.

but out of curiosity, it would be interesting to see the science (or lack of) behind such 'aphrodisiac'.
imagine having such control over your genetic expression or traits of any kinda. well 28 days/ weeks dealt with the idea of viral rage, but viral horniness would be interesting. Maybe a movie should be made about this...oh wait, its already been done. Check out your local adult stores for more information. lol

If there a bomb that would make "straight" people become "gay", there must be another bomb that would turn "straight" people into "gay". Don't you agree?
17. 2007-06-14 07:20  
#-1 --- What a Joke !

#-2 --- If such a Gay Bomb does exist, Come Drop 1 on my city, I could use a few more men to choose from ! :-)
18. 2007-06-14 07:32  
At least they got one thing right - gay men are more interested in having sex than killing one another.

They'd be called Weapons of Mass Seduction.

Bombs away!
19. 2007-06-14 09:34  
There are many "proposals" in the military, business and even your schools. The science community is always trying to come up with projects to get in on the US government money trough. I think that having this as a headline story is not the best use of your website. I think this may have just been a "jab" at the US military and the US as a whole.
20. 2007-06-14 10:51  
i totally agree with 'playboy'..
"weapon of mass seduction"

so cool!!
:)
21. 2007-06-14 11:44  
They should set that bomb off in the White House and there will be no more reason for war.
22. 2007-06-14 12:32  
hope they've not found the formula for "straight bomb"
23. 2007-06-14 13:03  
gay bomb--gay world--big world=peace on earth!
24. 2007-06-14 13:36  
Hormone bomb? People seems want to control deeply into their personality, change from a 'straight' to 'gay'. But a hormone bomb? The effect might be temporary, but massive effect all guys ^^
25. 2007-06-14 14:32  
wow chemical that can turn straight ppls into gay men...hrmmm....

WHY not? since those straight men love to use date drug to get girl....we can use this chemical to drug them and have sex with us haha...wat goes around...comes around....

better still...drop a few of this bomb in all the Catholic and Muslim states....and our problem will be solve....hehe
26. 2007-06-14 16:16  
So that's why most Middle-Eastern guys have homosexual tendencies. I wonder how many boy-slaves got locked up in Bin Laden's cave.
27. 2007-06-14 18:22  
FARCE! But what a great idea for ' make love not war' movement. If they can do a gay bomb then they can also do a straight bomb to turn gays into straights, right? It's just a matter of reverse technology. Since it's a kind of chemical warfare, let the air carry such love potion around and imagine having the leaders in the world political meetings cumming at each other instead of comming at each other.
28. 2007-06-14 22:44  
What has the world come to? Who could have ever come up with the idea of a "gay bomb?"

Leave it up to the FBI, the CIA or any, and many agencies, and you will have some crazy idea knocking around there....and then they will have someone backing that idea up too...

I love America
29. 2007-06-15 00:48

34. 2007-06-15 10:05  
Ha Ha Ha ! This is absolutely the joke of the year....These military pricks are truly closeted! It's slowly leaking out of them, into their proposals to see fields of dirty, sweaty, muscular hunks doing in a massive open field...truly General Orgy! Hahaha!
35. 2007-06-15 14:55  
Thats crazy...
36. 2007-06-15 17:22  
ROFLMAO....this reveals the true extent of homophobia still existing in the US. Tragedy indeed...bt actually, i feel sorry for for the US military that they can actually resort to such a thing as this.
37. 2007-06-15 17:43  
i dare.. bush.. try it
38. 2007-06-15 19:10  
below are approximately 30 new episodes of what could become Showtime's newest block-buster made-for-TV series (to replace QAF)....GAY LOVE BOMB (GLB). This is one of the funniest/saddest articles I've read in years. Love America someone says below??? OK...well, some americans might be barely tolerable (speaking as an american-born guy here), the geography of the continent is interesting, and then there's NYC and LA....but beyond that, the USA is simply just haven for fat, undereducated, narrow-minded, red-necked, homopohobic bags of mostly water who love to play with their big guns....
39. 2007-06-15 23:48  
The inventor of the bomb should get a Nobel Prize in promoting love and peace.... Too bad, it was canceled.
My imagination going wild... If this bomb was made and throw to Hollywood, all the hot Hollywood stars would become gay. Yummy yummy....
40. 2007-06-16 00:04  
There's always a danger in the 'gay bomb'
The enemy will fight harder to get some ass.
Imagine being captured by a gay bombed squadron.
