Key takeaway The claim, made on his show InfoWars, suggests that these chemicals have an impact on the frogs' biology.
A viral clip of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been circulating, claiming that chemicals in the water supply are affecting frogs. The claim, made on his show InfoWars, suggests that these chemicals have an impact on the frogs' biology. The claim has been debunked, with the herbicide atrazine actually forcibly feminizing frogs, rather than changing their sexual orientation.
Despite being misleading, the claim has become a joke, with many referencing the idea of water "turning the frogs gay". Further details on this story are available from the source, including the context of the claim and its origins. The story has been ongoing, with The Onion involved in an attempt to acquire InfoWars.
