    • In June 2008, a news site run by the anti-LGBT lobby group American Family Association filtered an Associated Press article on sprinter Tyson Gay, replacing instances of “gay” with “homosexual”, thus rendering his name as “Tyson Homosexual”.

    Why would they do this? Why replace a non-offensive word with a non-offensive synonym?
