Michael Lucas Will Be Your Gay Travel Guide to Tel Aviv

Gay porn star/director/producer, Michael Lucas is about to add tour guide to his resume – the head of Lucas Entertainment announced on his website that he is going to start taking groups of tourists to Israel. Lucas writes: “It is no secret that Israel is one of my favorite places in the entire world, and I travel there at least twice every year to visit my favorite parties, restaurants, historical monuments, beaches, resorts, and most importantly, all of the close friends and wonderful people I have met throughout the course of my travels. What I love about Israel is that it is extremely modern while maintaining such an amazing and diverse sense of history: You can be in urban Tel Aviv, one of the most gay-friendly cities on earth, surrounded by skyscrapers, and then drive 40 minutes to ancient Jerusalem and see craftsmanship and architecture that is over 2,000 years old. It is incredible! Although I am uncut, I’m 100 percent Jewish. I was born to a Jewish mother and a Jewish Father (his name is Bregman—can’t get more Jewish that). I’ve been exposed to anti-Semitism in Russia, and so, I’ve always had a warm place for Israel in my heart (and groin, have you ever seen those Israeli men?). It makes me happy to think it has a warm place in its heart for me." Lucas promises this will not be your typical tourist’s look at Israel – evidenced by his description of the tour’s planned trip to Gaash Beach. “This is the premiere clothing-optional beach in Tel-Aviv known only to insiders. You can feel free to lie in the sun as nude as you’d like, enjoy the ocean, or feel free to watch any number of hot guys have sex up and down the shore! I have traveled all around the world and never encountered a beach like this one.” Launching the end of May 2010, the inaugural two-week tour brings visitors on an extensive journey through the breathtaking nation of Israel, personally accompanied by Michael Lucas. Lucas has partnered with top experts in the Israeli tourism industry to contract the best amenities for the trip, including licensed guides and luxury hotels. The premiere group will visit notable historic sites, numerous restaurants, beaches, and resorts, along with several other locations that provide for the experience of a lifetime. Total cost of the trip is $4,799

Postcard Exhibit On Homophobia
'Woah. I could die'

'Woah. I could die'

Exhibition at Tel Aviv's Gross Gallery presents postcards of 22 artists on topic of homophobia. Curator Ziv Tidhar, 'Homophobia is alive and kicking in Israel, regardless of the murder',"Cusomophobia," an exclusive exhibit of postcards addressing the issue of homophobia, is opening Thursday at the Gross Gallery in Tel Aviv.   The exhibit presents the works of 22 artists from various disciplines presenting 24 postcards using a uniform format and size, each one presenting homophobia and its manifestations in the Israeli discourse, especially after the August massacre at a gay youth club in Tel Aviv. Ziv Tidhar, the curator of the exhibit that also includes two of his works, claims that the recent murder was only one of many motivations for the exhibit. "It is not the murder at the gay and lesbian youth center that proves that homophobia in Israel is alive and kicking, but the responses to it sharpened the discussion of the ever-updating boundaries between incitement and freedom of expression."

Tidhar added the phenomenon of homophobia is a manifestation of the increasing violence in Israel and the show of hatred and lack of tolerance towards minorities and marginal groups in the society.   The name of the exhibit 'Cusomophobia' is an expression of the disgust towards rising verbal violence, as well as the lack of tolerance and the loathing directed towards some segments of Israeli society, and towards members of the community, the discussion of whose rights is perceived as superfluous and bothersome," explained Tidhar. Tidhar claims that the murder not only brought gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transsexuals out of the closet, but the entire Israeli society as well sat in comfort and insolence in the closet of apathy. The exhibit seeks to continue to spark discussion of homophobia and its implications in Israel 2009 and to do so from social, political, and personal perspectives.

As part of his role as curator, Tidhar chose to show the artists' work on postcards because this format is capable of sending a piercing message without pointing fingers. The works will bring attention to the gay community's inability to get married or adopt children in Israel, the personal struggle with sexual identity, acts of homophobia, and feelings of loneliness, fear, and anxiety following the murder.   The art pieces examine homophobia from various perspectives on both the personal and the public levels, some touching upon the personal and the intimate and others referring to social existence. Included in the pieces being shown are: Naomi Shalev's "Come on. Let's Go Back to the Ghetto" – clay and digital photography; Odelia Gal "Knowledge Gap" – watercolors on paper; Avi Rose "Be Fruitful and Multiply" – watercolors and digital processing. Other artists showing at the exhibit include: Rafi Peretz, Gal Barzilay, Anat Bandori, Imri Kalman, Yael Koren, Aya Hoveras, Tamar Danieli, Liav Mizrahi, Adi Reznik, and Almar Schmidt. The exhibit will be shown until November 10. Story: Ynet News
