Oh, this is so funny. The AFA has decided that they shouldn't use the word "Gay", and would rather use the word "Homosexual" as it seems to have a more negative connotation to bigoted Americans. The result? Here it is...

OneNewsNow,the "Christian news service" covertly owned by the AFA, receivessyndicated content from providers like the Associated Press and edits
instances of the word "gay" to read "homosexual." Although the site is
registered to the conservative, anti-gay organization, the fact is not
disclosed anywhere on the site.

An article posted Sunday night about Olympic track and field star Tyson Gay was no exception.

"Tyson
Homosexual easily won his semifinal for the 100 meters at the U.S.
Olympic track and field trials," the article read, "and seemed to save
something for the final later Sunday." The headline read "Homosexual
eases into 100 final at Olympic events."

"On Saturday,"
it went on, "Homosexual misjudged the finish in his opening heat and
had to scramble to finish fourth, then in his quarterfinal a couple of
hours later, ran 9.77 to break the American record that had stood since
1999."

"Asked how he felt, Homosexual said: 'A little fatigued.'"

This morning,
OneNewsNow changed its stance on 'Gays' (but not 'gays') and changed
the article back to the way the AP had first written it. As late as
9:45am ET today, the online version below referenced the runner as
"Tyson Homosexual"; by 10:06am ET the headline and story text had been
edited to reunite Gay with his original name.

Bunch of Idiots...LOL.

Comments:

The AFA, are just making fools of themselves
Their 'edited' articles are hilarious!! Reminds me of when I had written a post (on Blogster, I think) about my cats. Now in the UK, we use the word
p u s s y, to call our feline friends - in the US you say 'kitty' . . .
I couldn't understand, why, the powers that be, 'edited' the word . . . then I realised!!! Yes, we do use the word (amongst many many, others, to decsribe the word that these people had 'thought', I was refering to) but in the context of 'pets' - oh come on!!!!
(I have spaced the lettering out here, so they won't edit this)

I bet you got an interesting response or two on blogster...LOL. Thanks for the warning, so I won't look shocked when/if I ever get a chance to visit the UK.

No doubt. I am sure the athlete really enjoyed reading this the first time, before they fixed it back...LOL
