The debate organizer, Alexander Lau stated:

“First, we thought that his resolute identification with the Jewish community, in the context of open homosexuality, would lend him strong opinions on the ‘family values’ around which our debate centers. Second, his vociferous advocacy of safe sex in the gay community epitomizes attempts by the gay rights movement to appear more closely aligned to traditional mores, and to move away from old stereotypes. Michael’s position at the forefront of the gay entertainment industry can but make this message all the more compelling.”

Why Israel, you ask? Because Lucas says it’s one of his favorite places in the world, and the trip was inspired by two movies he filmed there called Men of Isreal and Inside Isreal.

A look at the Lucas Entertainment website reveals all the details. Lucas says:

* This is not your average tourist vacation. I will not take you nor will I send you to any tourist restaurants! We will eat only the finest authentic Israeli cuisine preferred by the locals, and I will organize a dinner for whomever is interested with some of the top Lucas Entertainment performers.
* I’ll also be sure to take you to one of my favorite beaches, hidden far away from the overcrowded coastal scene: 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!

“For me, Israel is much more than a country; it’s my heart, my soul, my cause,” commented Lucas. “Speaking for Israel has created lots of enemies for me, even here in America. I always get hate messages and comments. It’s my heritage and the place where my ancestors lived for thousands of years. It’s a place we lost and finally gained back, a place where Jews can finally protect themselves from all possible forms of discrimination. It is a gorgeous place where people can truly be liberated and live as they want.”

In a sea of hostility and intolerance of the Middle East, Israel is the beacon of freedom. In every surrounding country homosexuality is illegal, often punishable by flogging and even hanging. Until just two years ago, Israel was the sole country in Asia where homosexuals were protected by anti-discrimination laws. Presently Israel remains the only country in the Middle East to provide such legal protection. Many LGBT individuals have relocated to Israel, often fleeing cruel intolerance that includes physical abuse, exile, or death.

Lucas will use Israel’s towering mountains, sun-kissed desert, the Dead Sea and their stunning view of the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop for his film. Of course, the film will also showcase the beauty of Israel men. “The guys in this country exude such exotic and natural beauty it is unbelievable,” say s Lucas, “They are surrounded by oppression and here they are free to explore their sexuality. To capture this on film will be a groundbreaking venture.”
