GTA V's conspiracy radio show predicted a real-world government 'gay bomb' conspiracy

The Blaine County Radio Community Hour includes a caller ranting about 'bees being gay,' which directly references an actual conspiracy theory that the US military was developing a chemical weapon to turn enemy soldiers gay — a rumor so persistent that the US Air Force genuinely researched 'harassing, annoying and 'bad-guy'-identifying chemicals' in 1994, and the 'gay bomb' concept was even nominated for an Ig Nobel Prize in 2007.
