Conservative Obsessions
This story may be at least third hand by now, but it provides an amusing factoid. I read it at Jim Burroway's Box Turtle Bulletin ("The Obsession Of Social Conservatives", 21 November 2007). He relates the facts succinctly, and I'm tired, so I'm going to let Jim tell the tale:
Andrew Sullivan noticed this. If there was any doubt what’s most on the minds of social conservatives, Conservapedia has the answer. For those who haven’t heard, Conservapedia springs from the idea that Wikipedia and Google have a liberal bias. It’s an attempt to create a special little echo chamber in one small corner of the web.
So, what [d]o social conservatives care about the most? Well out of 44,999 pages on the web site, here are the ten most popular:
1. Main Page [1,897,952]
2. Homosexuality [1,496,027]
3. Homosexuality and Hepatitis [516,229]
4. Homosexuality and Promiscuity [417,064]
5. Homosexuality and Parasites [387,476]
6. Homosexuality and Domestic Violence [329,295]
7. Homosexuality and Gonorrhea [328,327]
8. Gay Bowel Syndrome [318,139]
9. Homosexuality and Syphilis [262,286]
10. Homosexuality and Mental Health [253,125]What do you think? Obsessed much?

To thwart spam, comments by new people are held for moderation; give me a bit of time and your comment will show up.
I welcome comments -- even dissent -- but I will delete without notice irrelevant, rude, psychotic, or incomprehensible comments, particularly those that I deem homophobic, unless they are amusing. The same goes for commercial comments and trackbacks. Sorry, but it's my blog and my decisions are final.

That project is obviously misnamed. It should be Homophobopedia.
