Except it was the Athenians who were misogynistically homosexual, and apparently also ageist as well.
As far as I understand it, we guess at this because the Spartans didn't write much but the Athenians wrote a lot, including making fun of them for things like: not being Saudi Arabia/Iran towards women and such other outrageous concepts like respecting your elders.
Also Thebes had a lot of reason to hate Sparta. Among them was that those 300 famous Spartans were accompanied by several thousands of Thebians who were put in largely sacrificial positions to better save Spartan lives.
Aha! The standard strategy of making the opponent both very strong, to explain why they are winning and need being fought as being the weaker one at the same time because the gays are obviously inferior.
Same rethoric the nazis used against the Jews. Strong enough to own all capital and influence the entire world behind the scenes ánd obviously an inferior type of people without spine.
This, but unironically. Turns out if you're in a stressful situation, having a great way to relieve stress without having to feel ashamed afterwards is really great for morale.
Yeah, the Sacred Band of Thebes (citizen-soldiers from a democratic polity) decisively defeated the Spartans (a caste-based oligarchy) in several engagements, shattering Spartan power.
OK so if the US has the ability to make Super Soldiers, and the "effect" is turning people gay, then the logical conclusion would be half of the US military would be gay by now.

tbf I've seen videos of US soldiers off-duty. That might not be far off...
If this actually worked, you'd have official ball gargling exercises, and probably so much that the unofficial butt-stuff brunches would have to be cut short
A. BAHAHAHHAA
B. Pay close attention how the hateful people in this world act, speak, and think. They’re how hitler came to power. Know thy enemy better than you know yourself.
Brainwashing people to stay in the military through gay influence(?) is an interesting tactic as opposed to just making people obedient in general, maybe being gay is part of the secret to superpowers idk.
After the gay frogs, we now have the gay super soldiers! When they spot the enemy, they'll break out in an flashy dance to distract them so it's easier to shoot them!
They kinda think that the socially disadvantaged (as in "depressive district", or as in "gopnik") layer of the general Russian population pays attention to such statements and believes them, cause for that layer being gay is very bad, prison caste system and all that.
However, even that layer of the general population is 97% not that dumb. And those who are sufficiently dumb do not pay attention.
