Homosexual Bomb
Friend Reiko forwarded a New Scientist link sent to her from her Syracuse friend Tony. The article mentions several bizarre chemical weapons considered by the Pentagon, with a homosexual bomb being a highlight [more aptly a lowlight].
The sex bomb aphrodisiac would supposedly make enemy soldiers sexually irresistible to each other, with resulting homosexual behavior contributing to low morale. The concept prompts me to ask some immediate questions.
Would the bomb reverse the sexual preferences of homosexuals, and would that increase their morale? Was this bomb an offshoot of research looking for a chemical that could cure homosexuals?
What about a blind aphrodisiac bomb that would make soldiers seek sex from all other soldiers, regardless of gender or sexual preference [possible code name Elton John]? Then maybe "Make love, not war", would become a reality.
Why do all the military sex scandals always seem to involve heterosexuals?
Why do people who preach the loudest against "immoral" sex sometimes turn out to be especially attracted by it? E.g., some priests and televangelists, Ken Starr and Bill O’Reilly.

When Tony first pointed this article out to me, I laughed. The utter silliness of it was astounding. However, after a while, something struck me about it. The very notion of a "homosexual bomb" is firmly grounded in the concept that sexual orientation is something that is changeable. And easily changeable, at that.
That this was given serious attention is what scares me.
