If a guy doesn't have a right to take offence at that-just what the hell are we justified in taking offence at then????

Slander I (sort of) understand (though in my mind being called a homosexual would be pretty sladerous). But not libel...
If I'm NOT gay, and you publish an article or book stating that I AM get, THAT is libelous because it IS A LIE.
Legal Beagles: what am I missing??
To: seamole
Oh. . .how about I say it as a statement of fact, with no expression of emotion at all.
But wait a sec, how can I be persecuted if I refer to her person as a Bull Dyke, as this is an expression of a PERSONAL opinion regarding her PESONALLY and not an expression reflecting or directed towards the court?
Just asking.

What you are missing is that you have to prove a financial loss as a result of the slander and/or libel.
To: craig_eddy
In this case, it sounds like he was accidently identified as homosexual. If someone intentionally (and incorrectly) identifies you as homosexual, I would hope you have recourse. I don't care what the Massachusettes Supreme Court thinks, that has the potential to cause pain and suffering if your friends, wife, family, etc. hear about it.

(Thousands have left the homosexual lifestyle)
To: seamole
This enables professional rumormongers to spread a swarm of lies about famous people's sexuality, creating the impression that "everyone" is a homosexual.Gay media activists have been doing it for the past couple of years. Look at the campaigns against Sandy Koufax and Mike Piazza last year.
