Tyson Gay, World-class Sprinter, Caught in the Middle of a War of Words

popular Christian website published an article on American sprinter Tyson Gay after he covered the distance of 100 meters this past weekend faster than an human in the history of the world. Little did the website owners realize that their strict policy of always replacing the word 'gay' with the word 'homosexual' would come back to bite them.





The site reads:

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."
