I read Yahoo Finance now and again and of late I have been seeing a certain type of clickbait ad that essentially implies this person or that is a homo even though they are not. The main give away is the use of the word "partner". For example I give you the defamatory little crapfest below. Michael Strahan is married to a woman and has a ton of children. He's not married to a "partner"; he has a wife.
Now let's not confuse this with the fact that some men and women who live together refer to their "other" as a partner, not because they are gay but because they are not married. But if a man is actually married under the only true and correct definition of the word as one man and one woman (Genesis 2:24) then neither he nor anyone else should refer to the woman in the relationship as "his partner" because marriage is a huge step above partnership.
But these desperate ads go one step further. They trick weak minded people into clicking on the link (and racking up money for the clickbait company) by double-implying that the celebrity is gay by adding the picture of another man who has essentially nothing to do with the person whose reputation is being sullied. People with nothing better to do with their time click the link to go check out the circus sideshow of a big old NFL pro football star and his Asian soy boy toy.
It would be great for the victim if everyone who saw the ad clicked on it because they would immediately realize that the person in the picture isn't gay. But 90% of the people don't click and so they just end up with an image in their head. And the image suggests "big old gay black football star is not ashamed of his homo-ness".
I wonder how much longer until the brunts of these clickbait ads decide to sue for defamation. After all, while conservative people don't care if gay people exist, they damned sure don't want to be ribbed by their friends, etc. about being gay.
