Conservapedia repeatedly insults LBGT people, as this snippet from the conservative news portion on the right hand of the side:
Military personnel are leaving the United States Navy SEALs in record numbers due to influx of sissy boy homosexuals who don't fit into its meritocracy culture.

Also, they repeatedly inferred that we were losing Olympic medals against Russia because of our LBGT movement....
Plus, just read these articles from Conservapedia:

http://www.conservapedia.com/Causes_of_Homosexuality

Dude, it's owned by Phyllis Schlafly's son. It may be parodic, but it isn't a "liberal parody site".

maybe not intentionally, but i'd wager a lot of the "contributors" are just trolling.

No. Its just a bunch of knuckle draggers.

They were able to classify Ron Paul as a RINO but not Romney.

They also call Alexander Hamilton the greatest conservative, whilst not telling the same about Thomas Jefferson.

What kind of "conservatism" do they advocate?

The fact that nothing has been done to crack down on the obvious trolls there speaks volumes to how these people think.

As a self-identified conservative, albeit of a rather unorthodox brand, I've several issues with Conservapedia.

- They go to any length to prove that Darwinism, Atheism and Homosexuality are horrible, terrible things, associated to the worst things mankind ever saw.
- They created quite a schizophrenic definition of conservatism. One that puts Lincoln, Romney and Eisenhower as heroes, but Ron Paul as a mere RINO. They hate Christie or Schwarzenegger, but they love Huckabee, the tax-raiser, felon-pardoner governor. Whilst they do include Dubya as a RINO, they nonetheless praise him for his policies regarding Iraq, which I'm pretty sure men would make men like Larry McDonald or Robert A. Taft, REAL conservatives, simply vomit.
- They classified Ingraham, Hannity, Coulter, Limbaugh and countless other famous conservative radio hosts ass "RINO backers". The reason? They stood against Todd Akin after his comments on rape. You can guess how they treat George F. Will, whom happens to be conservative and atheist.
- They still endorse birther points of view. Whilst I DO think that everything regarding Obama's past needs to be better explained, particularly concerning his SSN and the signature on his birth certificate, the fact is that they had the opportunity to reject his presidential bid back in 2008. They didn't do it. Its too late now. They should focus on other things.

They're all wingnuts (though not a hate group in my opinion). Even if they were, its a right to hate.

Anyone who spoke out against Akin and Murdoch, for any reason, is labelled as a RINO, since what Akin and Murdoch said were not gaffes but scientifically true statements.

It's satire that's very good at hiding that it is satire.

I would think that being more accepting of homosexuality would let us win MORE metals and have BETTER soldiers. I mean, a lot of those gay guys in really good shape.
