World's Fastest Man: Tyson Homosexual

It didn't used to be funny.

For many years, the NYTimes and other papers would not use the term 'gay'. They liked the phrase 'avowed homosexual'. Which gave it a little bit of hand in the cookie jar guilt.

More intense was 'self avowed homosexual. As in 'my GOD they are admitting it!".

Gay pride sort of kicked that one in the ass.

Eventually, at the Times, the change to 'gay' came when they got rid of Abe Rosenthal as the Editor and the queers on the staff rebelled and demanded they change the policy.

It's a strange world that we live in.

That's Tyson Gay in the photo.
