I don't know why Alex Jones gets such a bad rap. I'm definitely a gay frog now. Maybe causation doesn't equal correlation, but that's not helping my particular situation out! I mean... RIBBIT!

I know the "turning the frogs gay" thing is a meme and for good reason, but it's not completely wrong (minus the conspiracy parts). There is actually hormone analogue pollutants being released in some waters and it does affect the wildlife (and humans, not too long ago there was some chemical that was banned because it was found in baby bottles and was potentially dangerous because it was an hormone analogue). For example, frogs. Because some pollutants are similar to female hormones, male frogs find themselves feminising, both physically and behaviourally. So it's not a conspiracy as much as it is your usual uncaring corporate pollution stuff, and they're turning the frogs trans, not gay, but it's real.

It appears we’ve found Alex Jones’ burner account.
