This would account for the high number of pageviews for the homosexuality article relative to the site's main page. The Beckhams' high placements really baffle me, though.

The saddest thing is that Lindsey Graham and Gary Bauer conducted 84.4% of all of those entries. That could be wrong too tho'. A little statistical perspective here:

Although, with all the links to anti-gay arguments I can how someone would make that error. The "compensate much" tag seems to hit it on the head. Is there a lot of self-loathing gay conservatives out there? I don’t think “conservapedia” is suggesting that Beckham is gay, there must be a lot of conservative soccer fans.

I suppose there could be a number of legitimately straight conservative guys that just hate homosexuals -- but then they go and looking for David Beckham pictures? Something doesn't wash. I am surprised that Brad Pitt isn't higher on the list.
