Another "for straight eyes only" model

Meet Benjamin Massing. He's a straight model who likely thinks too much of himself. And even though he makes money getting people to look at him, he'd prefer it if we gays would please turn the other way. We're making him uncomfortable, don't you know.

Massing has filed a lawsuit against gay men's magazine "Genre" and fashion photographer, Rick Day, for publishing a "cruel and vulgar" picture of him half naked. Because of it he is getting unwanted attention from queer men.

His first name was printed with the editorial. "Genre" also included a way for readers to get in touch with the model leading complete gay strangers (GAY strangers) to  "solicit him for homosexual sex."

"It's definitely put him in a class where he's going to have difficulty obtaining contracts for family-related shows," lawyer  Liah Catanese said.

Massing had agreed to be photographed for free as he wanted some more pictures in his portfolio. In an invasion of privacy suit he says that he never expected photographer Day to sell the photos to a magazine that made him look "lustful and sexually promiscuous."

"He had a promising career," Catanese said. "I hope he's able to undo any damage that this has done."

Yes, he had a promising career ... and then he pissed us off. Until he comes to terms with the queer community he really has no place in the modeling or acting world. Sure, we may still masturbate to his pics, but we won't enjoy it!
