In Search Of The Eternal Porn

“Who isn’t gay? Well, if you are not maybe you should consider it! GAY = HAPPY. I don’t know about you, but ask Lady Gaga, she will tell you I was “Born this Way.” Cast away your judgments and join in on the happiness. Life is too short not to celebrate individuality and originality. Pack your bags and experience Tel Aviv. Travel is my fuel, take a sip and you may become intoxicated. My most recent visit to Tel Aviv was rewarding on so many different levels. The culture, community and the spiritual awakening during my journey left me renewed and recharged. From Jerusalem to the Dead Sea, Tel Aviv is teeming with countless opportunities for exploration. The Non-Stop City is jam-packed with beautiful people, great dining and unique cultural gems.” Rolling Out

“In the way that people often dismiss the 1960s by joking they can barely remember it — as though for every American it was an endless festival of sex, drugs, and rock and roll — so too is there temptation to sum up the decades that followed as an orgy of sexual liberation (the ’70s) and the ensuing consequences of the AIDS epidemic (the 1980s). For generations, people — except HIV researchers and medical experts who dismiss the idea — have tried to suggest a causal link, as though one begat the other. But in doing so, they dismiss what a truly revolutionary act loving and having sex with whomever you choose really was.” Advocate
