Does it Matter?

My father asked if I am gay. I said, Does it matter? He said, No not really. I said, Yes. He said, Get out of my house. I guess it mattered.

My friend asked if I am gay. I said, Does it matter? He said, No not really. I said, Yes. He said, Don’t call me your friend. I guess it mattered.

My boss asked if I am gay. I said, Does it matter? He said, No not really. I said, Yes. He said, You’re fired faggot. I guess it mattered.

My lover asked if I love him. I said, Does it matter? He said, Yes. I told him, I love you. He said, Let me hold you in my arms. For the first time in my life something matters.

My God asked me, Do you love yourself? I said, Does it matter? God said, Yes. I said, How can I love myself? I am gay. God said, That is the way I have made you. Nothing again will ever matter.

This is so cute and HOT!

I can’t prove it scientifically, but I swear here in Israel there is a higher percentage of hotties than in the US. Maybe it’s the sun, or the wars, or the inferiority complexes, but the men here work harder to look hard, and firm, and sexy.

I often find myself sitting on a bench or lingering at a bus stop just to gawk at some of the fine specimens that might come my way. It’s like a G-rated peep show, admission free. So much eye candy in a country the size of New Jersey!

The pictures in this entry were taken on the sly, and you need to understand that guys like this are everywhere. There’s not a lot of obesity here, or inbreeding, so any given street corner might offer up multiple examples of tasty man meat on display, most of it kosher.

Mazel Tov!

Retired NBA star Hardaway says he hates ‘gay people’:

Homophobia is alive and well.

Check out this article that reports that retired NBA star Tim Hardaway says he hates ‘gay people’!

Hardaway was a guest of Miami Herald columnist Dan Le Batard on Miami sports radio station WAXY-AM and was asked how he would deal with a gay teammate. When asked if he would accept an active player’s coming out, such as that of retired NBA center John Amaechi, Hardaway replied: “First of all, I wouldn’t want him on my team.

“And second of all, if he was on my team, I would, you know, really distance myself from him because, uh, I don’t think that’s right. And you know I don’t think he should be in the locker room while we’re in the locker room. I wouldn’t even be a part of that,” he said.

Boo! Hiss! Boo!

Ran Danker is a star in an Israeli soap opera. Here you can see why. He’s beautiful!

I saved the best for last! Check out this video of Ran Danker being interviewed on the set of a recent photo shoot. So HOT! The interviewer is MTV host Jason Danino-Holt who I think is tres hot himself!

I’m not going to lie. One of my favorite parts of the male anatomy is the butt. There’s nothing quite like grabbing a ripe pair of firm butt cheeks in my oversized hand and squeezing them like melons at the market. Fortuntely, I’ve never had to pay to take these melons home and enjoy them.

In the Middle East, butts are really on display. Middle Eastern men love to wear tight-ass clothes, and I do mean ass. One might even think a lot of the men look “gay” because of all the tight clothes and careful grooming evident in this region; however, it’s really more a matter or pride and less hang-ups about people thinking other people are gay.

Of course we also have all those security officials, most of whom look extra-hot in tucked-in shirts and form-fitting manly-man pants. Every once in a while you spot a Jewish boy with no apparent ass, but more often than not there’s some meat on the bones. Whether the meat is kosher or not, I’m often ready to dig in!

Because the men here wear low-cut jeans and like to show it off, it’s not difficult to catch some crack or even the top-third of cheeks hanging out. This is not even to mention the hot array of thongs, bikini briefs and other sexy underwear worn by guys here. I am happy to report I have yet to see a Middle Eastern guy wear tighty-whities. Still, if I saw it, I’d be happy to peel them off and take the dude shopping. ; )

A while back Matt posted a review of The Bubble. According to Matt,

We love The Bubble (2006, pictured above) because it features a steamy gay romance between a Jew and an Arab. The Jew and Arab in question are actors Ohad Knoller and Yossef Sweid, both of whom appear often without their shirts on and/or locking lips. Though trapped in the sometimes vapid “bubble” of Tel Aviv and surrounded by violence, these hotties remain true to themselves (and their basic instincts) throughout this soap opera-esque romp through secrets, prejudices and the colorful streets of Tel Aviv.

Well, those of you in the US who love Middle Eastern hunks be prepared to be very happy! The Bubble is to be released in the US! According to this Ynet article,

The Israeli film The Bubble has been purchased for distribution in the United States. The movie, directed and written by Eytan Fox, is now being screened at the Berlin International Film Festival’s Panorama section.

The distribution company hopes that the film will gain the same success as Fox’s previous film Walk on Water, which was also represented by Strand. According to the company, Walk on Water was the greatest Israeli box office hit with sales surpassing USD 2.7 million in North America alone, and amounting to USD 7 million from commercial screenings worldwide.

Walk on Water was also chosen one of the best foreign films screened in the US in 2005.

Marcus Hu of Strand said that the company expected The Bubble to follow in the footsteps of Fox’s previous film with the strong support of the Jewish audience and the gay community.

The Bubble takes place in Tel Aviv’s Sheinkin Street and follows a group of young Tel Avivians living in an escapist bubble who are suddenly faced with the complex Israeli reality.
