Copy/Paste of an actual message I sent to my friend earlier today:

“You know if chemicals in rainwater were actually making frogs homosexual my family wouldn’t have such a problem every year with tadpoles in our swimming pool cover muck lol”

Because it's not in rainwater, it's in runoff from cities and dairy farms. The chemicals in question are basically synthetic estrogens and their metabolites and frogs are just more sensitive to those in the environment than mammals.

Really?

Can you provide sources?

I'm not sure if what this person said is correct, but I can corroborate that there is some distant distant nugget of truth behind 'the guvments makin da frogs gay!!' that is actually an argument for better environmental protections

At the same time, Alex Jones has made a lot of women turn gay I'm sure and there's no one investigating that ...
