This is cute....

A number of right-wing website, such as that of the AFA(American Family Association) have been using auto-correction filters to automatically change words of various articles they post from various news organizations, such as the AP. For example, "the Democratic Party" becomes "the Democrat Party".

But they got theirs. As they always will. Check it out:

Tyson Homosexual easily won his semifinal for the 100 meters at the U.S. Olympic track and field trials and seemed to save something for the final later Sunday....

Tincture - I imagine that the parents were on the phone calling the AFA saying "No. You've got it all wrong! Our son is GAY. G - A - Y!"

So the period from 1890 to 1899 should be referred to as the "homosexual nineties"? I'm so confused.
