> It's death by a thousand cuts with all of these chemicals out there that turn friggin frogs gay poisoning us.

I hope that statement is a joke and just reference to that insane Alex Jones clip. But if it's not, no amount of estrogenic compounds will turn you gay. Otherwise MTF folks would be universally straight after taking hormone therapy.



I don't think the term "gay" is particularly well defined for amphibians. Frogs do change sex though[1]. Whether or not exposure to exogenous estrogenic compounds triggers that I do not know.
