Default American Family Association

So, I'm reading in my new Advocate magazine, and came across a small article regarding the American Family Association (AFA). It appears that they are famous for reproducing news received by the Associated Press, and placing it on their news website: Onenewsnow.com

Well, in keeping with their homophobia, the folks at Onenewsnow set up their computer system to automatically change the word "gay" to "homosexual" as articles come through from the A.P.

Ok, not funny or surprising. But, think Olympics. Think track and field. Think Tyson Gay. The news article on the website read that Tyson Homosexual clocked in at 9.86 seconds... And if that wasn't enough, there's more: "...along with matching shoes...Homosexual dominated the competition..."

STUPID. Serves them right. Of course, corrections were made as soon as they were noticed. This is just another fine example of the [insert your own adjective] we are dealing with.

Hey! Read your Soulforce email alerts. You'll get this stuff faster.

Or even faster from keltic63.

But this was so good, tdogg, it deserves a rerun!

Thanks, Tdogg. Sometimes it is good for a laugh, after all.

Default Was it Flintstones...

"We'll have a homosexual ole time!"

Of course, I could be misinterpreting that part of the theme song...

Ever since Bruce Chris made that joke I’ve been trying to come up with my own, but I haven’t been able to.

Anyway, at least, when appropriate, I’ll have the opportunity to say:
“or in AFA terms”
“or in AFA language”

I don’t hold a candle to the humor of Bruce Chris, and I can see Toni one upping me, but I should at least be able to outwit Rick...

Anyway, Toni, yup, you're right. "a homosexual ole time"...

Default deck the halls with musicals, disney songs and a subscription to men's health

here's one for you:

"deck the halls with boughs of holly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
'tis the season to be jolly
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la
don we now our homosexual apparel
Fa-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la
troll the ancient yuletide carol
Fa-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la."


Apparently homosexuals are the reason for the season, not Jesus Christ.

Yep. There's nothing gayer than Christmas. I bet even the American Family Association Christmas tree sparkles like a disco ball.

Well, if you want to get into the technicalities around the holiday, all the observances are taken from the pagan Sabbat of Yule, and everybody knows that those filthy heathens invented homosexuality to please their false gods. *eyeroll*

That is one for epic LULZ.

Default Bad News

Sadly, Tyson Homosexual (uhhh, I mean Gay) did not bring home any medals. But cheers to Matthew Mitchem, an exemplary example of a fine young gay man, not to mention diving perfection! Interpret that AFA!

ROFL! It really is interesting to see what pops up when folks like the AFA feel constrained to censor certain words. That little altered new tidbit made my day!

And hopefully a homosexual old time will be had by all!
