I just realized that perhaps you were focused on why it's not defamatory per se to call a gay person straight. If that's where the disconnect lies, let me see if I can address the issue:

If being "straight" doesn't carry a stigma, it's not harmful to one's reputation to be falsely called straight. No defamation "per se". It is still possible that in a specific community that matters to the person falsely labelled as straight it could cause reputational harm. Tougher case to prove, but possible.

Does that answer the question? Or did you have some other question in mind?

Best regards.

Yes it does. No I didn't . Thanks for being thorough, have a good weekend.:smile:

is this the same as 'celebs I want to be gay'? :biggrin:

Cos if it is, I've got quite a few suggestions. :p

In many of these cases it certainly seems like the "I want them to be gay or at least bisexual" as opposed to real proof. Since the thread title is 'think are gay" I figure that's all it can be, happy dreaming. Once it's confirmed it kind of becomes "Know are gay" or "bisexual"

Noticed the moderators comments on the first two posts. It is my understanding that, in general, suggestion of a suspicion does not rise to the level of implicating defamation concerns, thus saying something along the lines of "I think Person X might be gay" does not rise to the level of libel, whereas "Person X is gay" could be libel, provided its not true and no other defenses apply.

Borntohaveit8 also isn't likely to pass the Bar Exam in his state because he cites that "you will land in libel" instead of "you will be liable for libel"......the difference between the words liable and libel is obviously lost on him.....back to the legal drawing board, Matey! Oh, and as someone else stated, 'defomation' is spelled 'defamation'. Nobody likes a functionally illiterate attorney. More Spellcheck!

LL...I am surprised and doubt that. P.Diddy, no, I am not shocked. There just always seemed to be more with him Fonzworth Bentley, and the rumors have been swirling for years including from Superhead.

I live in L.A. & personally think the majority of men in Hollywood (& hip hop) are all gay.
