His is PC at its best. It seems a Christian newspaper does like the word "GAY" so when world class athlete Tyson Gay did well in the Olympic Trials they deceided to change his name fro Gay to Homosexual.
Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has. His time of 9.68 seconds at the U.S. Olympic trials Sunday doesn't count as a world record, because it was run with the help of a too-strong tailwind. Here's what does matter: Homosexual qualified for his first Summer Games team and served notice he's certainly someone to watch in Beijing. "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." NUMS |

Yeah, I heard about this last night. Funny and yet kinda disturbing at the same time.

Serious & automated. There's a filter that changes the word "gay" to "homosexual."

I bet that filter does wonders to older text - let's talk about the plane that dropped the first atomic bomb used in wartime, the Enola Homosexual... it gets better - amazing - the art of astonishment is getting stranger every day.
BTW my spell checker tried to change 'Enola' to 'Ebola' - go figure.

It may be they consider 'gay' to be derogatory and that is why they change it automatically to 'homosexual' or some other words as well. Don't jump to the conclusion that they are doing it because they don't like the word.

Bill- don'tcha know? Newspapers can't afford to hire decent editors anymore. Ever notice just how many typos and grammatical errors are in articles these days? They just grab stuff off A.P. and trim it to whatever length they need to fill the space between advertisements. And fewer people care, anyway, because the average reading level's dropped (as well as the number of people who actually bother to read a newspaper.)
