No I don't. I'm not legally liable because all I did is relate what I
heard Mr. Donatelli say on the Lars Larsen radio show.

Is stating you think someone is gay defamation of character? Seems gay is
nearly equal rights with heterosexual these days, or at least on the way of
getting there. I'm not sure but what a gay group might try to accuse a
politician of defaming them if he claimed he was gay :-) Getting to be a
pretty twisted world.
