What is the name of your state? MI
A gay man claims he told just "one person" that he had sexual relations with my boyfriend, over a couple of years, including ones that I had been with my boyfriend. many people now talk about it, including family, friends, employers... it had cause him to emotionally break down. his friends are still friends with him, but now they all tell each other that he had gay relations. at least 25 people have approached me (one claming to have heard it directly from the gay man) and asked me about it. the gay man, myself and my boyfriend are all young adults, and even the adult community continues to spread these lies. i have discussed the matter with my boyfriend, and we have been together for 4 years.. he has no reason to lie to me. i've also spoken with the gay man, heatedly, and he claims its all the truth and very rudely tells me to get over the fact that a fag sucked my boyfriend's member. i cannot stand to take anymore slander being spoken about my boyfriend and neither can he. he feels like he can't be the same around friends or the community w/o them accusing him of being gay. its hurtful, and he's depressed.
please, i don't need support, i'd just like to know if this could be grounds to sue this gay man for slandering my boyfriend. i want the defamation to stop and i want the man to pay for all the hurt he's caused.
