''He's not [gay].... It's definitely put him in a class where he's going to have difficulty obtaining contracts for family-related shows.''

Liah Catanese, a lawyer apparently representing a heterosexual male model, Benjamin Massing, whose swimsuit photos and personal information were published in Genre, a gay magazine. Massing has filed suit in Manhattan against photographer Rick Day for allowing a "cruel and vulgar" picture of him to be published in a gay magaine (next to chat lines and sex toys) which made him look ''lustful and sexually promiscuous.'' Reportedly, the 20-year-old, Florida college student has said he now receives solicitations by strangers for "homosexual sex." The photos were republished on a number of gay blogs including Queerty and LeGayBlog. It is not clear at this time if a release form was to include the photos or if they were a free favor from the photographer meant only for the model's portfolio. (New York Daily News)
