I don’t know how this could be quantified -— and I don’t want to engage in slander against homosexual men in general, surely.


When you tell the truth, you will offend a lot of people............

Slander is, by definition, not truth.

Truth is, by definition, not slander.

Though it could still involve rash judgment or detraction, which are also sins. For example: say you publish a lot of scandalous stuff about somebody that's just hearsay, without grounds, without evidence, but it turns out to be true. Even though it was true, it was still rash judgment on our part, because you published all this damaging stuff without (at the time) actual proof.
