Judge tells Madonna's ex being called gay is not defamatory
One of Madonna's recent bodyguards and boyfriends, James Albright, has sued a biographer of Madonna for mislabeling Albright as a gay man. Albright contended that his business has suffered because people may think he's gay. The judge, referencing the U.S. Supreme Court's decision last summer to legalize sodomy and the Massachusetts Supreme Court ruling legalizing same-sex marriages, said that in no way is being called gay a defamatory statement. If it is, it legitimizes the bigotry and prejudice held against the gay community. The judge dismissed the suit, saying Albright had not proved he had suffered any monetary loss or loss of any kind.
