"Gay bomb" is an informal term referring to a hypothetical non-lethal psychochemical weapon about which the United States Air Force speculated. The unconventional idea involved the potential dispersion of sex pheromones among enemy forces, with the intent of generating mutual sexual attraction among them, causing mass confusion and panic.
Dating back to 1994, the Wright Laboratory in Ohio, a precursor to the modern United States Air Force Research Laboratory, drafted a three-page proposal detailing several potential nonlethal chemical weapons. This document, eventually acquired by the Sunshine Project via a Freedom of Information Act request, explores the notion of the "gay bomb" among other concepts.
