It looks like the ultra conservative news site, OneNewsNow, brought to you by our friends over at the American Family Ass (remember them?), aren’t very hip with those new web technologies.  Oh sure, they block plenty of news that doesn’t meet their views so they can present the user with a tainted view of the world in order to support their viewpoints, but they also *fail* hard when they do a blind ‘find and replace’ of the word ‘gay’ to ‘homosexual’.  A fun example is the image above, where runner Tyson Gay’s accomplishments were introduced with the line “Gay eases into 100 final at Olympics” becomes the much more interesting headline, “Homosexual eases into 100 final at Olympics”.  Other times when runner Tyson Gay’s name is ‘re-spelt’ to conform to the sensibilities of the more conservative set:

American Family Ass. boycotting McDonald's homosexual agenda

July 3, 2008 – 7:52 pm

McDonaldsRight-wing American Family Association (AFA) are boycotting McDonalds of their ‘gay agenda’. They’re pissed because McD’s Vice President of Communications Richard Ellis’s is serving on the Board of Directors of the National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). Sounds like the end of the world to me, lets get their word on the matter:

What the boycott of McDonald’s IS about? It is about McDonald’s, as a corporation, refusing to remain neutral in the culture wars. McDonald’s has chosen not to remain neutral but to give the full weight of their corporation to promoting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual marriage.

Oh boy, then the AFA President Donald Wildmon says that it’s strange because “…it’s the family that McDonald’s appeals to — children’s playland, you know, all the little toys, all of that. And they are promoting a lifestyle that would utterly destroy the traditional family.”  Guess I need to tell the gay parents that I know that their great job they’re doing raising their kids is DESTROYING the traditional family.  Welcome to a time that isn’t the 1950s folks!  Credit to McD’s for keeping it real with their rebuttal, “…We treat our employees and our customers with respect and dignity, regardless of their ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation or other factors. We support our employees’ personal involvement in organizations of their choice.” Allowing people to choose how to live their lives?  What a great concept.  Of course there’s always two sides to the story, and the comments on the boycottmcdonalds site are a fun way to get a feel for the ‘other side’ in all their outspoken glory…I’ll post some snippets below…
