Wikipedia is a free-content online encyclopedia established on January 15, 2001. It currently has over 6 million articles, written in 250 languages[1] on various topics. Like Conservapedia, it is a wiki that is written and edited by its users. Under its GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL), anyone can add to or edit the content on Wikipedia.
Wikipedia and Bias
Conservapedia has an article that argues that Wikipedia has a liberal bias. This list shows some examples of this alleged bias.
Wikipedia and Homosexuality
Some Wikipedia editors and administrators have posted on their user pages statements that they are either homosexuals or supporters of homosexuality and other deviant sexual behavior. Wikipedia has been accussed by its critics of hosting a "Gay Cabal". This belief was based in part of the total dominance on the site, the Mediation Committee, the Arbitration Committee, and other high levels of authority within the project being dominated by self-proclaimed homosexuals, such as Wikipedian Essjay.
Many of Wikipedia's entries on topics such as "Anal Sex" actively promote this deviant behavior and misrepresent the Bible and other fundamental religious teachings as "outdated" or "fables".
More recently, one of Wikipedia's self-proclaimed homosexual editors and admins, Essjay, was exposed as a fraud and had misrepresented his credentials, claiming to have four PhD degrees in religion. Wikipedia shows a pro-homosexual bias in the majority of its articles. Conservative critics of Wikipedia have commented the site appears to be dominated and misused by the militant homosexual movement as a propaganda vehicle for promoting homosexuality and other deviant lifestyles as "normal" and "natural".
The site also publishes images with many of these articles which are not suitable for young people and border on pornographic materials. One example of this bias is the article on the Famous Greek hero "Achilles". This article attempts to represent that Achilles was a homosexual and had a homosexual relationship with "Patracolus", his servant. Many of Wikipedia's articles attempt to create a false impression of the "numerousness" of homosexuals in history and modern times by "outing" historical and other figures based upon unsubstanciated evidence.
