DescriptionA news website has been forced onto the back foot after running a headline referring to Senator Penny Wong as "Pansy Wong" in a story about gay marriage.

"PM Julia Gillard and Senator Pansy Wong - a reluctant embrace of an emotive issue; gay marriage," was the headline posted on the Sunday Telegraph website early today.

The story was about the ALP voting at its national conference yesterday in favour of a motion by Prime Minister Julia Gillard to allow state and federal MPs a conscience vote on gay marriage.
