Alex Jones: Gay marriage truther?


The conspiracy theorist said the government is turning people gay through chemical warfare

BY ALEX SEITZ-WALD


Long before the Supreme Court overturned the Defense of Marriage Act, conspiracy broadcaster Alex Jones was warning his viewers that the government was turning people gay by putting chemicals in their juice boxes, water bottles and potato chip bags that feminized men.

“The reason there are so many gay people now is because it’s a chemical warfare operation,” Jones said in a June 2010 clip that has gained renewed attention since the DOMA ruling. “I have the government documents where they said they’re going to encourage homosexuality with chemicals so people don’t have children.”

Cutting open a juice box to reveal the nefarious plastic lining laced with “estrogen mimickers,” Jones continued, “After you’re done drinking your little juices, you’re ready to go out and have a baby. You’re ready to put makeup on, you’re ready to wear a short skirt.” While there is some research that suggests plastics leach hormone-like chemicals, there’s no evidence that they’re harmful to one’s health or that the government is involved in a secret plot to turn the country gay.

It’s typical Jones conspiracy fare: globalists secretly working to depopulate the planet so they can seize control. But it’s also typical of a vicious homophobic vein in Jones’ worldview, which is often overlooked and seems to run in direct contradiction to his proclaimed support for individual liberty. It’s not a central theme of Jones’ broadcasts, but a potent undercurrent.

A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. There are some estrogen mimicking characteristics of bpa, but its not turning people into Teh Gay.

Everyone knows its the fluoride in the water.

They're certainly poisoning us, but I doubt it's in a way that would that fun.

Mercury, hydrocarbons, arsenic, radioactive isotopes, acid rain, corexit, rBST and a whole host of biological nasties...and he's worried about turning gay?
