Conservapedia Conserva-Spotlight: Homosexuality

The Conservapedia entry on homosexuality is really impossible to preface. Like its fatally-biased older cousin Wikipedia, Conservapedia creates sections for every article and fills in some facts about different aspects of whatever is being explained. A few examples:

Ex-Homosexuals

Many people have reported leaving homosexuality and becoming heterosexual through their Christian faith.

Homosexual Public Indecency Tolerated in San Francisco

In San Francisco there has [sic] been notable cases of homosexual public indecency that has been tolerated. Christianity Today states the following regarding Pastor David Innes regarding the Hamilton Square Baptist Church riot:

“Innes says he blames not police, but those in political control of the city, particularly the board of supervisors. "You really can't compare San Francisco with any other city," says Innes. "Homosexual advocates infiltrate and dominate the political structures here. Police are in straitjackets. They can't do their job. They've been instructed not to arrest homosexuals."

Reparative Therapy

Reparative therapy is a technique of trying to talk people out of homosexuality (see psychotherapy).

Dr. Nicolosi argues that, at its root, homosexuality is not a sexual problem – it is a gender-identity problem. Normal stages of emotional development have been interrupted, and this can lead to same sex bonding in order to attain affirmation. These relationships tend to implode, leaving the homosexual hurt and confused. Furthermore, Nicolosi claims that there is no such thing as a homosexual, but only heterosexuals that have a homosexual problem. This may sound like splitting hairs, but it actually opens the door for the dissatisfied homosexual oriented person to change, because such people can begin viewing themselves as fundamentally heterosexual. This approach has had a great deal of success.


Next time you have trouble sleeping at night, just remember that Conservapedia's there fighting the good fight so you don't have to.
