Famous gay males barefoot bare chested photos

The famed Menjos bar in Detroit has been accused in a federal lawsuit of copyright infringement for the allegedly unauthorized use of a picture depicting a shirtless male model in its advertisement. California photographer Michael Stokes filed suit in federal court on Tuesday against the iconic gay bar — one of the oldest and most frequented in the city — saying he never approved the use of the picture showing the shirtless and fit model JR Bronson by Menjos Entertainment Complex.

Menjos used the picture to promote events on Facebook, according to the Detroit Free Presswhich reviewed a copy of the lawsuit. Stokes's suit states that the photographer does not want the events to be associated with his work. The photo, taken inwas registered with the U. Copyright Office in The lawsuit claims the photo was used twice without permission.

The lawsuit was initiated after Menjos used the photo a second time in a more recent Facebook promotion for a July 4 event, the paper reports.

That more recent post no longer appears on the Menjos Facebook page. Bronson is not an active or former member of the military, according to the lawsuit. Stokes "also tempered the use of models partially nude in uniform — when photographing his veteran subjects," the lawsuit reads. It adds that "photographing veterans in partial uniform is controversial and within the armed forces community is often frowned upon.

Stokes has not previously shied away from celebrating the male body. His Instagram feed is filled with pictures of partially naked men in homoerotic settings and situations. His work also does not shy away from depicting the injuries suffered by members of the military in time of war.
