I want to see them write a story about the old Christmas classic "Deck the halls with boughs of holly", not omitting the third line, "Don we now our gay apparel" ...

Their coverage of the anniversary of Hiroshima should be good too, given the important role played by the bomber "Enola Homosexual".

During the Victorian era, Nosehomosexuals were a popular accessory.

Don't Say Gay. Especially if it's your name.

Imagine if his name was Gaylord. "Homosexual lord wins the Olympics" would be a fantastic headline.

What's even more ironic, is how people are so uptight about trans dead names.... yet there's this.

There’s also the spelling of the name Gayle. Would that be Homosexualle?

Like the time I read the Scoreboard page in the paper & the Eastern>Pacific time conversion created the soccer player "Pat 9 a.m.an"

I thought you were joking until someone posted a link to a reputable source.

Nearly had heart failure thinking you were talking about an editing lapse at my alma mater. Olympics coverage is chaotic, but not usually THAT bad.

Reminds me of an old joke from the TV show "Spin City". The head of minority relations in the mayor's office is congratulated for installing a program that replaces "Black" with "African-American". The deputy mayor then hands out invitations to an "African-American"-tie ball at the Waldorf.
