Examples of Bias in Wikipedia: Homosexuality (view source)
Revision as of 14:36, August 15, 2016
, 14:36, August 15, 2016Copied and pasted from main article.
#The Wikipedia article "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J._Edgar_Hoover#Sexuality J. Edgar Hoover]" has an extensive section speculating on his sexuality. That discussion goes out of its way to describe [[Roy Cohn]] as a "closeted homosexual." Three photos are placed in this section of the article—one showing Hoover sitting with his assistant Clyde Tolson and another showing Hooever sitting with [[Richard Nixon]] and [[Bebe Rebozo]]. The placement of these photos and their captions may have been intended to suggest more than they show.

# Wikpedia's site policy is to not mention negative information about family members of the subject unless it is relevant. Therefore, it does not mention information about drug charges against [[Al Gore]]'s son. However, it prominently mentions the fact that [[Dick Cheney]]'s daughter is a lesbian. It is unclear if this is a pro-homosexuality bias (i.e. homosexuality is not negative) or a bias in favor of [[Examples of Bias in Wikipedia: Liberal Politicians|liberal politicians]] (cutting the info on Gore's son while including the info on Cheney's daughter.)

#Wikipedia's article on "Homophobia," dignifies the use of what is actually a pejorative slur word to demonize those who oppose the posterior orifice intercourse of men-lying-with-men. The use of this word is an attempt to classify those who oppose such sodomy as having a mental disorder, a phobia. An attempt to demonstrate that opposition to sodomy is neither a fear nor an irrational fear (phobia) supported by the absence of such a phobia in the ''Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,'' will not be tolerated in the article. The existence of this article is a violation of the Wikipedia NPOV standard, as the use of such slur words is an obvious attempt to win a debate by changing the vocabulary (as in changing from fornication to sexually active). <ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homophobia</ref>
