The religious right group American Family Association’s OneNewsNow site seems to have an automatic filter that replaces the word “gay” with “homosexual.”



Because they want to use the more harsh sounding term, perhaps?



So when runner Tyson Gay won the 100 meter race at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials over the weekend, this is how it was originally written:

The article has since been corrected.



However, this article mentioning basketball player Rudy Gay, still needs some fixing…



The link has a passage about "Rudy Homosexual in the frontcourt" that is hysterical.

Come Christmas time, imagine them placing this portion of this Christmas song on their site:


"Don we now our homosexual apparel."

or, for the good Christian folks down south, "We'll all be homosexual when Johnny comes marching home!"
