If she had made a statement against it - ok - but you admit she’s friendly and responsive. You certainly could have asked the question just as clearly without naming her personally. You sound very high maintenance.

And you sound like a typical bigoted asshole. Grow up and get off your priveleged high horse and be THANKFUL you don’t have to deal with this.

Deal with what? A doctor needs to ask questions for accurate medical history. They don't have separate questions for straight patients vs. gay patients.

Op, grow up. Stop taking offense where none is intended.

MD/MPH here. Minority sexual health is a huge issue that communities must deal with as there is institutional homophobia, racism, religious or cultural issues present and that can lead to poor, insufficient, and incorrect medical care and treatment. Gay/lesbian/transgender people experience huge barriers to care, so OP has ever right to find a doctor that has experience to provide proper care.

I don’t think anyone said OP shouldn’t ask the question. She could have done so without naming the doctor she saw, who did nothing wrong, but doesn’t happen to specialize in this area.

Absolutely nothing OP said was even close to defamatory.

You should be careful about making vague legal threats on the internet, particularly when you don't know what you're talking about.

Sounds like that woman made things up out of anger from being overbilled and the doctor , who provided poor customer service in not fixing the over billing, sued . If you read the article it says that ‘truth is a good defense’ meaning that if you are telling the truth you cannot be sued. OP is describing her experience truthfully and there’s no basis for a lawsuit. You sound terribly simple.
