The World's Fastest Man is Not Gay, He's Homosexual!

But sometimes framing has some unexpected results.

Enter OneNewsNow.com, a biased news site funded by the AFA, or American Family Association, a far right-wing (and James Dobson-friendly) organization whose own web site decries the "homosexual agenda."

As some discovered over the weekend and this morning, the OneNewsNow.com site has a filter set up on its news results that automatically changes the word "gay" to "homosexual." I think it's an odd substitution, but I'm sure they've done some kind of research that shows that "gay" has a more positive connotation than the more literal "homosexual."

Fast is fast.  Sex is a different matter. Unless you can have it on the track and still win, in which case... Damn man, you ARE fast.
FIGHT APATHY!, or don't...
