Default Conservapedia theory “Homosexual bait and switch”

http://www.conservapedia.com/Essay:_...ait_and_switch

Quote:
Homosexual bait and switch is a technique used by covert homosexuals in order to convert heterosexuals to homosexuality, or at least, question their heterosexuality. Covert homosexuals will heavily alter their personal appearance in order to disguise their gender. These covert homosexuals will enter "meaningful" relationships with heterosexuals of the same sex without ever disclosing their own true gender. These homosexuals do a convincing job by utilizing deceit and powerful mind-control techniques. Only when the victim thinks they are in love does the covert homosexual reveal their true identity. At this point, the victim is too emotionally attached to the homosexual to leave them, giving the homosexual the upper-hand. Coercion into a counterfeit same-sex marriage is not uncommon. Even victims that somehow escape a homosexual's grasp usually go through withdrawal which causes some to suffer a homosexual relapse.

The term homosexual bait and switch can also be used to describe other things; such as J.K. Rowling retroactively stating that a popular character, Dumbledore, from the Harry Potter series is homosexual.

Was anyone really surprised by that revelation? I mean, c'mon! That's as much of a bait and switch as me serving you an omelet when I said I was going to serve you an omelet is.

This site is a laugh riot. And they keep people from registering in order to prevent any people from defacing their site. It's a denial of free speech and just hilarity

Our secrets would never be willingly divulged; they must have been revealed under extreme torture. The forces of conservatism have ways of making even the best operatives talk - think redneck make-over and redecoration only worse. If captured it is best to take the other purple pill. Some things are worse than death.

no such thing as free speech on the internet. What a site publishes is up to its owners.

For the good of humanity, I hope that conservapedia is a parody but I fear the worst.

That's just nuts. Someone has been reading too much gay erotica online because that's about the only place you would see something like that.

I've seen the arguments that we are all conspiring to turn all other men gay, which is idiotic enough, but this is just out there. The sad part is that there will be people who take this seriously.

Reading through that, all I could picture is some girl who had read that and believed it telling every person who tried to date them "Sorry, I can't enter into a relationship with you until you PROVE you're really a male..."

So... we apparently dress as the opposite gender to "get them"? Really? They must not know of the queer people that either like both sexes or the people that actually have mannerisms in accordance with their sex -lesbian femmes and masculine gays.

The owner of the site is serious, but a good percentage of the contributors are trolls.

The problem is...this is a pedia site. It should be free to edit just like everything else. Bleach wikipedia, regular wikipedia, etc.

that's what i was thinking. we need to establish a site, like "the homopedia" or something, so that we can reveal to all the faithful gays the horrors of the "Heterosexual bait and switch"

Ok folks listen up. Loose lips sink ships.

The conservatives keep finding out about our plans for world domination. We will never be successful if we allow this to continue.

We have to come up with a new plan. Now the Pottery Barn has a sale so I suggest we meet there.

This article made me giggle. I need to find these so-called "covert homosexuals," so they can reveal to me their secrets. Whether you want to go full-on and wear a skirt or not, knowing how to maintain your nails would be nifty.

And yeah, like Love etc said, this article completely ignores the many other kinds of homosexuals out there. I'm a tad afraid to see what it would say if it did include them though.

"Masculine gays are extremely violent and prone to getting put in prison, where they make the communal shower their hunting grounds!"

Or some such nonsense.
