DeSantis appointee to new Disney oversight board suggested tap water could turn people gay
DeSantis signed a bill in February that allowed him to replace the district's existing board -- mostly people with ties to Disney -- with a five-member body that he hand-picked. The move to remove power from Disney comes nearly a year after the company spoke out against a Florida bill -- which DeSantis later signed into law -- to restrict certain classroom instruction about sexual orientation and gender identity.
A CNN KFile review of Peri's past comments found that he frequently made derogatory remarks about the LGBTQ community.
"So why are there homosexuals today? There are any number of reasons, you know, that are given. Some would say the increase in estrogen in our societies. You know, there's estrogen in the water from birth control pills. They can't get it out," Peri baselessly said in a January 2022 Zoom discussion, later put on YouTube. "The level of testosterone in men broadly in America has declined by 50 points in the past 10 years. You know, and so, maybe that's a part of it."

Also, you'd think if they were really concerned about water quality they'd support regulation, but they don't.
as there are a lot of estrogen-like chemicals that have accumulated in our water systems over the decades. Supposedly this is suppressing testosterone levels in men and lowering their sperm count. Basically if you were to linearly extrapolate this trend at some point men wouldn't be able to cause women to conceive.
You make a good point, if Repubs were worried about water quality (and our planet) they'd be asking for more regulations and oversight into what we're actually dumping into the environment. But we already know the answer to that.
You gotta like their logic. Gay men are caused by high estrogen levels from birth control pills (so it's those pesky liberal women's fault). If we had a functioning media, this is actually something that would be explored in more detail so we could ridicule these folks out in the open. I guess some smart female comedian will have to explore this part of crazy town.
