The Truth About Alex Jones, Atrazine & “Gay Frogs”
If you found us by searching for Alex Jones frogs, gay frogs, or Alex Jones frog shirts, you’re in the right place—because it’s time to separate fact from fiction.
Alex Jones gained significant attention for ranting about chemicals turning frogs gay. While his science was flawed, the story was loosely inspired by real research involving a common herbicide called Atrazine. This chemical has been shown to act as an endocrine disruptor, capable of turning male frogs into females at concentrations as low as 2.5 parts per billion! These findings were part of peer-reviewed studies by scientists including Dr. Tyrone Hayes from the University of California, Berkeley—not wild conspiracy theorists.
What’s Really Going On With Frogs?
The real issue isn’t a meme—it’s a crisis. Amphibians around the globe are in decline due to habitat destruction, pollution & pesticides, climate change, invasive species, and yes, toxic chemicals like Atrazine. That’s why we started SAVE THE FROGS!, a science-based nonprofit dedicated to protecting amphibian populations through conservation, education, and advocacy.
Stop The Misinformation
We want to be clear: we are not affiliated with Alex Jones, and we do not approve of him profiting from unlicensed merchandise bearing the SAVE THE FROGS! name or logo. His videos have trivialized the very real threats frogs face, while spreading pseudoscience and contributing to confusion as to the actual threats to frogs and their effects.

In the video below, YouTuber Oki does an excellent job explaining the history of Alex Jones’ “Gay Frogs” statements as well as the significant efforts that the herbicide’s producer Syngenta went to in order to discredit the research of Dr. Tyrone Hayes, who first informed the world of the hermaphroditic effects that Atrazine has on frogs.
