Everyone has picked up on this story today: Tyson Gay, a sprinter from the U.S., won his semifinal for the 100 meters during the Olympic trials. One News Now, a news site for fans of the American Family Association, credits the Associated Press for penning most of the stories on the site’s wire. However, they take some journalistic liberties when the stories relate to the gay community.

Good As You is probably the biggest watchdog of AFA’s penchant for substituting “homosexual” for “gay,” among other words. “Same-sex marriage opponents” gets turned into “advocates of traditional marriage,” for instance.

One News Now got its turn in the mainstream media spotlight today, though, for a blip in its software. Tyson Gay’s last name is actually “Gay.” But all references to Mr. Gay read “Tyson Homosexual.” Apparently, the glitch has been fixed.
