The American Family Association (AFA), runs a Christian news service and like many web-based news services, they pull at least some of their news stories from AP. But they have a strict policy of not using the word “gay” but instead replace it with “homosexual” in all stories they pull from AP. This is silly enough, but when the story that they ran through their filters is about an Olympic athlete named Tyson Gay, hilarity ensues.

Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has. “It means a lot to me,” the 25-year-old Homosexual said. “I’m glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me.”

And the article also discussed another athlete who also qualified for the Olympics named (and I’m not making this up) Walter Dix. So we get this great sentence from the AFA version of the article:

After the race, Homosexual and Dix looked at each other and slapped palms, then hugged.

Try getting that image out of your mind.

Anyway, the AFA has fixed the page but Google has cached it for the enjoyment of future generations.
