Newly released documents have shown that the US military was considering the development of a chemical weapon to turn enemy soldiers gay.

Edward Hammond, of Berkeley’s Sunshine Project, used the Freedom of Information Act to obtain a copy of the proposal from the Air Force’s Wright Laboratory in Dayton, Ohio and passed it to CBS 5.

According to the document the Air Force requested $7.5m for the development of such a weapon, but the proposal was rejected.

“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 told the TV station.
