![]() ![]() ![]() I'd take some of your own advice if I were you. So disagreeing about someone being gay based on very flimsy evidence is being rude is it? And if you think the evidence is flimsy, try posting a comment on a Mirror or Daily Mail article saying that Cheryl might be gay. It will be quickly deleted or not posted at all. You are allowed to post that she's talentless, fake, all kinds of insults, but any post about her not being straight is not allowed. Why do you think they would be deleting posts like that if there was no truth to the rumor? Try to post something, just for kicks, saying she's gay under a Cheryl article, I dare you. It won't be posted on the Daily Mail, and it'll be deleted after a few hours in the Mirror. This combined with all the blind items about her being gay.....the speculation is not flimsy |

Someone asked why people think Cheryl's gay, I was simply answering her question. I don't deserved to be attacked for it.

I think describing a few people basically saying your post is nonsense as an 'attack' is a little bit dramatic.

Like I said, I think it's possible that a court might decide that, but probably only in certain circumstances.

Didn't Jason Donovan sue The Face magazine or some other rag in the early 90s for saying he was gay?

I'd be pretty shocked and appaulled if a court ruled that saying you think someone's not straight is libellious, I think there'd quite an outcry if that happened.

He sued them because they claimed he was lying when he said he wasn't gay.

Of course there's nothing wrong with being gay Sulala. However if someone is straight and they're not gay then a publication hinting at the latter is printing incorrect information.

To be libel though you have to prove it causes harm, not that its simply untrue.

"containing an untrue written statement that causes people to have a bad opinion of someone" Being gay is not a bad thing. Therefore saying you think someone is gay is not libelous. I sense some lingering uncomfortability with homosexuality in this thread. There's absolutely nothing wrong with speculating about a celebrity's sexuality, just the same as there's nothing wrong with speculating who a celebrity is dating or or if a celebrity is getting divorced or anything else. |

I think she, or anyone else in that position, would have to prove actual damages though. |

And proving harm in those cases would be almost impossible, I would imagine.

No there wouldnt be an outcry. If it was said with malice it could be classed as libelous or slanderous, a lie is a lie. |
