Tyson who?
I swear, you can't make this stuff up.
The American Family Association apparently has a policy over at its new outlet, OneNewsNow, never to use the word "gay" in an article. Instead, the AFA always replaces "gay" with the supposedly more proper "homosexual."
Unfortunately for the AFA, someone forgot to check the automated changing of the word "gay" to "homosexual" when the subject of the article was Tyson Gay, who on Sunday nearly set a world record in the 100 meter sprint.
Ed Brayton has the hilarious story, and here is the Google Cache of the article before the AFA caught their blunder and changed it.
Update: By midday today, even the mainstream media was all over the gaffe.
