# The Wikipedia article [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Larry_Craig_scandal&oldid=567446099 Larry Craig scandal] shows a bias against Senator Craig.  It identifies him as "one of several prominent conservative politicians who had a record of anti-gay legislation and later caught in a gay sex scandal". Craig was convicted of disorderly conduct and no sexual act occurred.  On Sept. 23, 2011, the article was vandalized by a single purpose editor signon named "Larry Craig" who also edited the main Larry Craig article.<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Larry_Craig_scandal&diff=prev&oldid=468005773</ref>

# The Wikipedia entry for [[homosexuality]] is adorned with a rainbow graphic but fails to mention the following: the [[Homosexuality and health|many diseases associated with homosexuality]], the [[Homosexuality Statistics|high promiscuity rates of the male homosexual community]], the [[Homosexual Couples and Domestic Violence|higher incidences of domestic violence]] among homosexual couples compared to heterosexual couples, the [[Homosexuality and Murders|prevalence of murder in the homosexual community]], and the [[Homosexuality and health|substantially higher mental illness and drug usage rates of the homosexuality community]]. In addition, the Wikipedia article on homosexuality fails to mention that the American Psychiatric Association issued a fact sheet in May 2000 stating that "..there are no replicated scientific studies supporting a specific biological etiology for homosexuality."<ref>http://www.cwfa.org/images/content/bornorbred.pdf</ref>

# Wikipedia editors regularly and fiercely alter the use of the terms "he" or "she" in articles regarding [[cross-dressing]]/[[transsexual]] figures. Men attempting to pass as females are near-universally referred to as "she" while women attempting to pass as men are referred to as "he", despite this usage absolutely incorrect in both scientific and legal senses.
