Model whines after appearing on gay site

Most non-porn models are happy to have their pictures posted on the Web. After all, it's free publicity. But when gay news site Queerty published semi-nude photos of model Josh Peters he had himself a little hissy fit.

While his complaint was that no one had asked him before posting the pics, he was particularly angry to be featured on a gay site.

In an e-mail with the subject "Remove me now" Peters complained, "I am getting sick of finding myself on these stupid gay sites." In a later email he refers to gays as "bumboys."

Stupid! Bumboys! The nerve. Queerty retorted to the peeved Peters: "You're a male model who poses naked grabbing his dick and finds it surprising that gay men like to look? You're surely making the 'male models are idiots' stereotype come true."

Taking a look at Peter's photos, which are readily available online,  we couldn't help but notice the Zone8Media watermark on some of them. It just so happens that Zone8, which specializes in "male portraits and physique" also operates gay porn site EnglishLads.com. Just sayin'.

We're sure Mr. Peters will go far in the male modeling industry, which is known for its highly macho, anti-gay culture. In his stead we've posted a pic of a jack-ass; it just seemed appropriate. And, just to irritate him a little more, here's a link to his online portfolio. Please masturbate while perusing.
