He means no harm, leave him be. There is no need to be hateful. Gays are a minority, and as immoral as you may consider homosexuality to be, us as Jews should know better than to persecute people for things beyond their control, such as sexual preference. They are as Jewish as any of us and should be treated with the same respect. We, unlike the Muslim countries, are proud to have left the middle ages. Don't let this medieval biggotry stay with us!

"There is a big enemy Israel is facing and the enemy is Islam, not homosexuals. Do not confuse the two" That is good! You are two in one! A jew and gay! It is our pleasure we Muslims to be your enemy!

Ignore the overtly religious, mate. We do appreciate your contribution - don't let the sone'i hinam get to you.

well there you have it people!This is why we are getting smashed by our enemys.A warped sense of right and wrong.

This is how you can tell that someone isn't really interested in human rights. An article based on the defense of the LGBT community calls for openmindedness and tolerence. The he proceeds to condemn the entire Muslim world. Islam is the enemy? And, what about gay Muslims? Do you care about them? It's ridiculous to speak bad about Mr. Lucas for being gay, or for being a porn star. Those are hardly crimes. Moral retardation too, is not a crime, but one can surely speak bad about Mr. Lucas for it.

The majority of people who left comments re this story are just ignorant. You only have to read their stupid illogical views - especially those who use derogatory terms against homosexuals. I wouldn't bother giving them a second thought. They obviously don't believe in "live and let live" . Ignore them.

"I make them happy." -I set them up for failed marriages -I set them up for growing depression -I set them up for broken family relationships. -I set them up for broken religious relationships. "I make them happy" Really? This 'momentary happiness' has a big cost to pay, and I would imagine that you are currently paying it yourself.

Turn to your God--the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and spend time to know Him by reading the Holy Bible--God's Message to humanity written by inspired Holy Jewish Men of God. And you will be freed from the shackles of homosexuality.

Considering the threats eminating from Hizb'allah, Hamas, Syria, the palestinians, Saudi Arabia, possible future conflicts with Islamists takes in both Jordan and especially Egypt, and currently the biggest threat from Iran. I don't see why their is an issue with homosexuals? Are they a greater threat to us than from the north, east, south, or even possibly the anti-semitic west (i.e. Europe). Really I must ask people, why do you care so much? There are literally people trying to kill us, and even somehow ignoring those threats, people in Israel are in dire economic shape and are starving. And so the most important thing in this world to you is the fact that someone has a sexual preference different than yours? I especially disgusted by the comments coming from Haradim (Not National Religious Zionists). Whom constantly drain the economy, do nothing, and don't serve in the army. While Gay's are out there, working, paying taxes, and going to the army. Please give him a break. He came here to help and entertain soldiers who had gone through. What is so bad about that? Really I want to hear explanantion about why someone being homosexual is a greater threat to Israel than Iran? Or is a greater issue than poverty? Let's hear it.

he's merely joining the ranks of danny kay, leonard bernstein and barbra streisand.

the one with your brain in it don't work too well. This is one of the silliest articles I've ever read. It's not even offensive, just plain amusing.

your not wanted in our holy land, keep your sick perverted self away!

"Chosen" means chosen to spread monotheism and ethical behavior. You are the antithesis of this. Please do not pollute the Holy Land with your presence. Act as a Jew should and THEN we will welcome you.

What kind of mental gymnastics do you do to justify the existence and use of pornography., whether it be between men and women or deviant expressions? Yes, homosexuals were put into concentration camps but the SS was filled with homosexuals, but those of the 'butch' kind. It was the 'fems' who were put into the camps. The Nazis weren't against homosexuality per se. Some even say that Hitler, himself, was a homosexual. It has been said that he even liked little boys!!!!! If we are having problems here it is because of people like you!! And I know very well abut this because I used to 'participate' in such acts myself until I told myself that this was not morally or psychologically healthy! SO I STOPPED!

u shouldnt be that unfair towards the gays the are the same people as us just with other sexual practices

That is why most people care. If you acted the way you do on film in private, we wouldn't care. You are the one who will have to aswer to our creater. But for you to come to Israel and promote gay film, that is dispicable. It goes way beyond a democratic right. It is immoral and promotes illicit behavior and breaks up homes. That is why we find you discusting. Keep your private life away from the public.

a man without organs is man, a woman without organs is woman... they be injured, but they are people, made by God. Why are they never other sex? Because God made sex and God will judge about sex. Neverthing is without God to accept at this world. Be happy with God, unto God, to God, love God and all things are good!

Doesnt matter whether you are gay or Islamic, the Tanach clearly speaks against homosexuality and those that plan evil...... and all will be judged in the time to come. Repent and humble yourself. Dont bring this shame on Judaism or the Israeli nation. Whether Jew or Arab, Gentile or whatever.

Please don't parade your behavior in the holy land. It is simply against Hashem, THerfore against Jews can only bring destruction. See a good doctor for treatment of your desease. There is nothing that stand against the will of a person. Just see the destruction this behavios brings you will create the will to run away from thie behavior

The guy is just trying to express his very human and heart felt opinions. So he makes Porn, I can’t tell you how many normal people in Israel watch porn but it’s not uncommon. Haredim going to strip bars, public porn cinemas and whore house is also rampant and they don’t get criticized Give the man a break he is doing his part for a community of people in Israel who don’t drain the system but provide it with life and energy. So he is Gay, if that’s an issue you don’t deserve to live in Israel yourselves. You are welcome in Israel any time.

The threat is in one case spiritual and the other phisical. The point is that spiritual misconduct reflects on the phisical well being of Israel. Eather you do what G-D sais or you pay phisicaly for it . Take your choice. There is no hate toward Gays, only to their actions.

As another gay Russian-AMerican Jew living in Israel, I support you and welcome you to your homeland! No one can say which Jew can or cannot enter Israel based on their sexual preferrance or profession. Among all the great points you made, I would like to add that Jews were (and still are) persecuted for being BORN Jews, JUST LIKE Gay people! so to persecute gay people for being born different is as stupid as persecuting albinos, short people, and other races. Michael, Don't listen to the hateful middle-ages minded loonies who post in this site, most israelis are open-minded and understand why giving gay people rights is important.

The greatest porn in Michael Lucas' work is the obscene comparison between the Jewish people and gays. Does he think that persecution defines the Jewish people, and because homosexuals have been persecuted, there is some connection? This is an insult to the millions of Jews who have sufferred through the ages for their religious beliefs - beliefs that are fundamentally in conflict with the homosexual lifestyle.

Makes his money from perversion and abomination. We are not proud that you claim to be Jewish, that you step foot in Israel, or that you spread your filth and perversion among our troops. Get out of Israel and stay out.

Sin. Period. This pervert should have never have been allowed to step foot in Israel, much less have contact with Jewish troops or make a porn film here. He makes Israel the laughing stock in the Middle East.

Your kind not needed in Israel.
