Defamation—also called calumny, vilification, traducement, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)—is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image.

so in this case, it is not

it can be an interference in someone's privacy

Sounds like something a filthy pole smoking homo would do.

A homo says what?

Relentless · 06-01-2012, 07:57 AM

It's the adjectives and adverbs people use before and after the word 'gay' that will likely turn most occurrences into defamation... not the lone word by itself.

DukeSkywalker · 06-01-2012, 09:33 AM

it's not defamation at all

"The traditional view of being called gay was like being called an evil person."

Hmm, I'm not trying to be funny here but seriously, I never looked at it that way. I always thought that someone calling you gay was someone saying you have sex with the same gender. Which, if you dont, could potentially damage your reputation with your wife or girlfriend, which is what this case was actually about.

Strange case to make precedent. You'd think they'd wait for a case where someone WAS trying to use "gay" in place of "evil", and not a case where someone was trying to break up a man with his girlfriend by calling him gay. Which as it turned out, actually is what happened and why they brought the suit.

Anyway, the whole thing is ganked.

CDSmith · 06-01-2012, 10:15 AM

Well good. If the ruling had gone another way it would have really put a damper on everyone's enjoyment of the "you know how I know you're gay?" game.

We can't have that.

Rochard · 06-01-2012, 10:20 AM

I do agree. You are what you are.

If your gay, your gay; There's no getting around it. I have lots of gay friends and they all seem okay with this - They tell everyone they are gay, they tell everyone they are in a gay relationship, and they are hoping to have a gay marriage. Why would they be offended by being called gay?

I think that calling someone gay and thinking it's a derogatory term is "so twenty years ago".

I'll go a step further too. I'm Polish. But you can call me a fucking Polak all damn day long.

When last heard from they were 10 miles out of Seattle.

If you don't have a sense of fucking humor, what's the point of being alive?

Is calling Jew a Jew still considered defamation of character?
If not, Fuck you Jew Jimmycooper.

Yeah, BUT.. in this case the man is not gay, and it was used against him by someone hoping it would ruin his relationship with his girlfriend, which it ultimately did according to him. So while I agree that if you're gay, you shouldnt feel slandered if someone says "He's gay!", when you are not gay and someone is not using the term to call you "evil" but rather to say you are homosexual, how is it not slanderous? It's literally a false statement meant to damage the mans heterosexual relationship.. As I posted before, it's a STRANGE case for the court to make a precedent setting judgement! The logic used in the article was that the term "gay" equates to "evil" as if he was just being called an evil prick. While I agree that it's twenty years ago for people to be offended in THAT way.. that's not even what was alleged in the case.

ie: if "gay" is used like "Haha you're a stupid gay moron dumbass!" then I agree it's just silly.

but if "gay" is used like "You have sex with men and you're married! She should leave you because you're gay!" then I call it malicious slander. (unless it's true!)
