‘Regular’ Jewish parents turn gay porn powerhouse in new Netflix documentary
‘Circus of Books’ follows how director Rachel Mason’s conservative parents turned an adult bookstore into a California LGBT institution — and still sent the kids to Hebrew school

Rachel Mason had an incredibly normal childhood. She and her two brothers grew up in Los Angeles with a warm-hearted, eternally happy father and a somewhat stricter, religiously conservative mother.

They went to synagogue, they did their homework, and Rachel tended to run around with an early videocamera. Only as she entered high school and gravitated to the “counter-culture” and the “queer kids,” did she realize her parents were far from dull — they were revolutionaries.

Barry and Karen Mason owned and operated Circus of Books, a gay pornography store with locations in West Hollywood and Silver Lake. They also produced and distributed some of the most renowned gay pornographic films of the pre-Internet era.

I bet someone is in trouble with the clique for spilling yet another one of these little gems. Counting chickens before they hatch and all.

Why not?

I thought the Articles section was cordoned off to becuase of some search bs related to posting entire articles verbatim, so I assumed that would be frowned upon outside of articles section.

Shocked and appalled that no one referenced this yet:

what's the deal with Jews and porn production?

In his book XXX-Communicated: A Rebel Without a Shul, Luke Ford wrote about a conversation with Goldstein, in which Ford asked Goldstein why Jews were dramatically overrepresented in the porn industry. He answered, "The only reason that Jews are in pornography is that we think that Christ sucks. Catholicism sucks. We don't believe in authoritarianism. Pornography thus becomes a way of defiling Christian culture and, as it penetrates to the very heart of the American mainstream (and is no doubt consumed by those very same WASPs), its subversive character becomes more charged. " Ford then asked, "What does it mean to you to be a Jew?" To which Goldstein responded, "It doesn't mean anything. It means that I'm called a kike" Ford also asked, "Do you believe in God?" Goldstein said, "I believe in me. I'm God. Screw God. God is your need to believe in some super being. I am the super being. I am your God, admit it. We're random. We're the flea on the butt of the dog." Al Goldstein.

A couple of interesting screencaps from the trailer.

An immigration law office in the same building as gay porno shop, really makes you think.

And suddenly, for no reason at all, the Germans voted Hitler into power.....

Jews and porn go together like Portnoy and his complaint.
