Fun with global text replace

The American Family Association's news outlet appears to have a policy against using the word "gay". It's just too bad that Tyson Gay just ran a (technically not) record setting 100 meter dash and that the AFA doesn't have an editor to save them from embarrassments like the following:

"Tyson Homosexual was a blur in blue, sprinting 100 meters faster than anyone ever has.
...
It means a lot to me," the 25-year-old Homosexual said. "I'm glad my body could do it, because now I know I have it in me.
...
This time, he kept pumping those legs all the way through the finish line, extending his lead. In Saturday's opening heat, Homosexual pulled way up, way too soon, and nearly was caught by the field, before accelerating again and lunging in for fourth place."
