The torah considers gay sex an abomonation. An act of an animal. Animals cant control themselves. Humans should. You should have stayed in Russia and identify yourself with Them. Not with the jewish people.

not only he is a gay, he is racist too!

I don't care about it. You can do whatever you want, and free to act in porn films. But please, don't erect yourself as a model. I It's true homosexuals were persecuted by Hitler as jews were during the Shoah. But it doesn't make us together in the same picture, sharing same values. Let me explain you that arabs and jews face to Racism in Europe. It doesn't provide us common values. To my knowledge, arabs don't lile us at all. We would be together if we shared common values from the Torah, and not determine ourselves through the eyes of jew-haters. Hosexuality has no compatibility with Judaism since we have been ordered "Peru Urbu". You can't fulfill that Mitzvah, even with the best wishes you could have with your "husband". I personally don't think we have been chosen, but I'm convinced you haven't been chosen at all. God wouldn't have been stupid by choosing Homosexuals: had it been such a normality, the next generation wouldn't have existed. Then, Torah would have never been transmitted and Human beeings (hmosexual-jews) would have disappeared from earth suface. Yes, you are tolerated and respected, as in any civilized society. But don't expect more from me. If I met with you, we could respect each other, maybe even become friends. But I would never advise my son to look like you. You can't be a model for the Society.

Those who criticise you do it because they think that their own "sins" are not known by the others... I´m going to say that I´m not homosexual only to stress that I´m not a part in this story, but intolerance against our sisters and brothers is not a favorite trait of our Creator, b/c only G-d is our Judge.

just other sexual practices. You both need psychological help.

This guy loves Israel and follows the golden rule -- that's good enough for me!

You are chosen to be examples of restraint. You are allowed to like guys. You're not allowed to have sex with them.

Because you are a Jewish porn provider, from a persecuted people, you should be tolerated? Well then, a Jewish drug dealer could say the same thing. What you sell is a harmful product that destroys relationships, creates unreal expections, immoral behavior and worst case, a metal addiction. You should be in Jail, not pitied.

And to homosex said God NO, NOT, NEVER! God is love, but God speak an other language! Without spirit of God you can not understand this holy life! God will judge every people! Gods right to every man and to every woman are absolutly care!

God punished Sodom and Gomorah for their sexual sin why do you think his opinion has changed now?

I take strong exception to Michael Lucas' Opinion column. It is offensive that he try to equate a behavior with a race. For people to oppose, for instance, pedophiles is not persection--behaviors should be evaluated by moral societies.

Being a jew means something, it is not connected to a state or a country, A person who is a jew (through birth or true convertion) is obligated to follow ALL the jewish laws, and living a GAY life style is against Jewdism, and is punnished with death It is not enough that you put yourself in a great danger of death in this world and the next , BUT you want to infect other people with it, and this is even a greater sin, and you need to stop now, and repent before it's too late. FOOD FOR THOUGHT I f some one has AIDS and you see him spreading it around to other pepole causing illness & death to many pepole, " WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO STOP HIM?"

The way you make and spend your money is your business and shouldn’t be open to the opinions of others to criticize. I agree with your discussion on how Jews and homosexuals are similar and your support for Israel is natural. What you probably haven’t realized is that many of the Jewish people within Israel are orthodox Jews who do not support homosexual behavior due to religious reasons. You will find support from some of them and others will not welcome you. Don't let the negative views of other people discourage you. Always support your believes and continue living the way you feel is acceptable.

porn is for losers going to hell

I know both. I have jewish friends and I know of gays. I have disasociated myself from gays. They are going to hell and they know it. Muslims and Christians will think alilke on this subject. It has nothing to do with being jewish. Gays will perish in the pit of hell for eternity!!!

What kind of entertainment is provided? Do you lather up a hot dog with mustard, dance to the Village People records or just wriggle around on stage like a mincing poofter? Do you sing broadway hits, pole dance or have a snake charming act? Or are you just going there because your horney baby, and circumsized soldiers make you randy? I've seen some of those Israeli gals and they make my parts tingle but the men...no way baby, this love machine ain't built for sausage parties.

Jews are God's chosen people. Homosexuality is an affront to God. There is nothing similar about them at all.

Don't give it another thought. You sound as though you have your priorities straight and that's what is important. Don't sweat the small stuff!

...claimed that some 90% of the population are latently homosexual, the other 10% actively so. I suspect that the most virulent homophobes (and there are some very nasty ones on this thread) are partial to a little spot of sodomy themselves!

As I write out the subject line I think about all the pin up girls from B Movies that entertained the troops at each and every one of these awful boundless excursions we call war. Though I personally find it distasteful I’m not on the front lines. If I were I might appreciate entertainment- any form of entertainment. Now that I think about it whole armies have been homosexual in Alexander the Great’s day and we can be assured there were equally queer entertainments. I think troop morale is integral because soldiers that experience humanity may recall that humanity when engaged in battles for peace. Because Israel is a country of great minds, great hearts and great people we can all readily comprehend that they like other civilized nations have no issue with homosexual soldiers serving in their war efforts. Lebanon is a much older country, the oldest democracy in the region with ancient roots. Why are the two fighting anyway? Perhaps its because stupid senseless people are dominating every discussion and every activity? I think after reading this that the author is a pathetically self-serving opportunist in the same ilk as every bubble-headed bleach blonde with bit tatas that slinked across a war ship. If the Israeli soldiers love him more power to his narcissism. Is it any less human than Pamela Anderson visiting warships? It is telling how uncivilized a great portion of the region is by a lot of what has been written in reaction to a homosexual performing artist appearing in Israel- what a bunch of vile bigots. Is there any wonder you lack the aptitude to experience peace? Read the vile filth coming out of your minds! You don' t mind lobbing missiles at each other and think nothing of clapping when the other side loses a man- or a child for that matter. Whilst you think nothing of killing men it shouldn't be surprising that you find men loving one another vile and sinful. It makes me feel even more empathy and sympathy for the women of Lebanon and Israel. If men think this way about one another and have so much enmity for anything they don’t sanction-do not trust them. What would they do if one of your children or your brother were homosexual? That said, I don’t think the entertainer has a vision for peace either. .

Wow uh wow and wow. Why do certain peoples across the board have to stake claim to land as "birthright"? I mean seriously isn't it in the bible that we all get demolished for the exact things that we doing?

repulsive

Thanks for your desire to be helpful, but is watching naked people - 'helpful' ? I think your method is incorrect. What would God say about sex outside of marriage, or flaunting nakedness, or seeking to arose another who is not your spouse? Has God ever addressed these issues? God designed us to enjoy sexuality, but within boundaries. Please check the Law, the Prophets, and the Writings. Perhaps there is another way for you to show solidarity.

Now the word of the LORD came to me saying, "Go and proclaim in the ears of Jerusalem, saying, 'Thus says the LORD, "I remember concerning you the devotion of your youth, The love of your betrothals, Your following after Me in the wilderness, Through a land not sown. "Israel was holy to the LORD, The first of His harvest. All who ate of it became guilty; Evil came upon them," declares the LORD.'" Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel. Thus says the LORD, "What injustice did your fathers find in Me, That they went far from Me And walked after emptiness and became empty? "They did not say, 'Where is the LORD Who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, Who led us through the wilderness, Through a land of deserts and of pits, Through a land of drought and of deep darkness, Through a land that no one crossed And where no man dwelt?' "I brought you into the fruitful land To eat its fruit and its good things. But you came and defiled My land, And My inheritance you made an abomination. (Jer 2:1-7)

Michael/Andrei: Queer Israelis & Queer Jews worldwide comprise millions of people. Pornography is maligned yet enjoyed by almost evveryone, including its sanctimonious detractors. Brave iconoclasts like you speak out & do your thing despite the hypocritical disapprobation. You lead the way, and drag us forward to a brave new world. Mazal Tov, you're a hero :)

Thank G-D we have someone who loves his country and fellow man!

No one cares if Michael Lucas is Jewish or gay. No one cares where he is from or where he is going. What some people do care about is that his lifestyle is in direct conflict to the orthodox jewish faith. Mr. Lucas may want to rethink his plans and figure out who his audiance is before he "offers" his services.

Mr Yishai Kohen seems to think being "chosen" and gay are mutually exclusive. Have you ever been to Manhattan sir? As homosexuals we face discrimination from Jews, Arabs, blacks, hispanics, asians as well as from the communities in which we are all raised and sometimes even our families. God made us as we are yet all you religious nuts refuse to accept us, as (he) wishes. This is disgusting, especially from you Mr. Kohen who, as a Jew should have direct knowledge of where blind hatred leads us. You are not a man of God, you are a hypocrite. All of you fanatics: Christians, Jews, Arabs have wandered so far from God's plan. Wallowing in your sanctimony you have yet to realize that it is you, and your twisted version of religion, that make God weep for us.
