Here’s an Olympic snippet from our friends at Popbitch…
The American Family Association is a pressure group which polices the entertainment industry about anything they think disses “traditional family values”.
One of its bugbears is the appropriation of the word “gay” by gays. So the AFA website has a policy of always replacing the word “gay” with homosexual.
Recently the AFA website had a piece about the Olympics, more specifically 100m star Tyson Gay. Its auto-correct function got to work:
“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.”

The great thing about religious bigots is you really don’t have to do much to counter their extremist assertions, because eventually they do it for you. The transposition of “homosexual” for “gay” is a case in point. Eventually, they make themselves look as stupid as they really are.
