The Wright Laboratory document also included many other off-beat ideas, such as spraying enemy troops with bee pheromones and then hiding numerous beehives in the combat area. Don’t know if the bees were gay though.
Of course, back then in the 1980’s, we only had ABC/CBS/NBC/newspapers. Back then, the media could broadcast any kooky leftist theory as “fact”, and a large amount of Americas would think: “Well, if it was on tv or in the newspaper, it must be true!” We still have too many Americans thinking that way (unfortunately alot of them still vote), but the rock of the base of the American Fourth Estate has greatly collapsed. So it wouldn't surprise me if a lot of people will believe the "gay bomb" as pure liberal gospel.
