"Lebanese" gay porn movie is released


Among one Israeli aggression and the next one, with a sectarian conflict in the making and a collapsing economy on the background, this is exactly what Lebanon was in dire need of: a gay porn movie, allegedly shot entirely on location.
If you are interested in the topic and if you are over legal age and if you don't live in places such as Saudi Arabia or Utah, you will easily find additional information about this pièce of cinematography, entitled Lebanon: Collin O'Neal's World of Men.

Now, for all of us who have been occasionally harassed because of their non-professional cameras, it is slightly discouraging to know that you are not allowed to take a picture of Byblos fishing harbour because of security reasons, yet someone manages to film an all-male threesome sequence a few kilometers from there.

I'm not sure I want to see what happens when this story hits the headlines in Lebanon. I expect an unanimous chorus of utter disgust, predictably with a good handful of pious clerics of all denominations and sects united in preaching against the "Zionist-American" (alternatively, "secularist") conspiracy to corrupt Lebanese young men through "sexual deviance" and "shameful debauchery". And then people will flock at the nearest Internet cafés (where porn, indeed including gay sex sites, is one of the main staples) to watch the image galleries: you never know if the bulky son of the greengrocer at the corner is one of the movie stars.
Most hilarious will be the contempt of the Lebanese elites who crave for everything foreign. After all, with such sex flick among its credentials, Lebanon will now be really like US and France.
