It's Hard Out There For a Douchebag

So courtesy of People For the American Way's Right Wing Watch, I saw this: the American Family Association's OneNewsNow site, which is, I guess, the part of the news you would want to read if you were a conservative Christian and didn't particularly want to know about anything else, apparently replaces the word "gay" with "homosexual" in all the articles it "reprints" from the AP. Including articles where Gay is someone's last name. Like Olympic sprinter Tyson Gay:


Homosexual barely averts major flop! Awesome.

Anyway, it seems they've fixed it now, as they have a history of responding to PFAW's items -- this piece shows how the AFA was redirecting links to their own site that came from PFAW's blog to a "Good Person Test" (Question: Are you a good person? Answer: No, and you're going to hell. Invariably. Seriously, take the test). Future links PFAW put up go through an anonymizer, but if you click on the older ones in that piece, instead of going to the test they now, hilariously, rick roll you. Who says the religious right doesn't have a sense of humor!
