"They tried to develop a gay bomb, like they spent millions of dollars developing a bomb. And the concept behind this bomb was you would detonate it over a city, and it would be like a bunch of probably pheromones and hormones and some kind of drug, and it would make people so horny that they would just have to have sex with whoever is near them."
"Rogan could not remember when the gay bomb idea was floated, believing it may have been during Barack Obama's presidency or one of the Bush Administrations. Producer Jamie Vernon later read from Wikipedia that it was explored in the mid-'90s and that the Pentagon did not deny it which Rogan and McConaughey both howled at. Ed Nash, a reporter who focuses on the military, reported $7.5 million was requested for the proposal in 1994."
A proposed weapon called a "gay bomb" would disperse pheromones, hormones, or drugs to induce sexual arousal across a target city, intending to humiliate and reduce enemy combat effectiveness. The concept was reportedly explored in the mid-1990s, with a $7.5 million funding request in 1994 and the Pentagon reportedly not denying that it was considered. The idea appeared among roughly 200 proposals and drew ridicule for assuming homosexuality would impair fighting ability. No solid evidence indicates extensive research or development beyond the proposal stage, and the concept was widely deemed absurd and wasteful.
