Peruvian mayor concerned tap water “will turn town gay”
by Stephen Gray
22 November 2011, 3:30pm

The mayor of a small town in Peru is concerned that mineral levels in the water could lead to an increase in homosexuality, LGBT Asylum News reports.

José Benítez, the mayor of Huarmey, a coastal town in the Ancash Region of Peru, made the comment at the launch of a local project designed to increase access to water.

The town of Huarmey is famed for its abundant shrimp and long beaches, but the mayor has become concerned it may gain a different sort of reputation due to high levels of strontium in the tap water.

The metal, he claimed, reduces male hormones and could cause an increase in homosexuality among the population.

1. I hate it when my tap water does that to me
one day, I'm having sex with my wife, and a cup of tap water and I'm hanging out at the local gay bar.

though, strontium in the water does sound like a problem...
