Tyson Turned Homosexual by Christian Filter
 

Evangelical organization American Family Association's website, using word filters for automated news delivery, reported Tyson Homosexual won the semifinal for the 100 meters at the track and field trials.

Intending to replace the positive term "gay" with the somehow less positive "homosexual", the automated filters changed Sunday's AP news story to reflect upon the track star's sexual orientation instead of his name.

Luckily, there have not been any references to "homosexual Paris!" or Homosexual Street in Greenwich Village

  A "Christian" filter that changes words  
 to make them more derogatory towards gays? I'm certain Jesus would be proud to have something like that named after Him.....NOT! Sick, just plain sick.

Oh, and I had no idea Mike Tyson was gay. Did he catch it from Michael Jackson? I've heard stories.

  Well  
 Homosexual is the neutral term, while gay might be seen as positive in some circles, it's heavily used in a derogatory and abusive fashion in many others.
