		<description>Wow, based on some of the comments, it sounds like Michael Lucas isn&#039;t the only one with an ego.  In any case, pro-gay legislation doesn&#039;t equate with categorical acceptance.  For example, I heard of a story in Switzerland, a country where everyone pretty much minds their own business in which a Brazilian gay guy was attempting to pass through customs and, due to his skin tone, was detained.  Unfortunately, he had porn movies and magazines in his luggage.  One of the customs officials asked him, &quot;Are you carrying any drugs?&quot;  After the Brazilian guy responded in the negative, the official said, &quot;I hope you&#039;re telling the truth because homos are known to take drugs.&quot;  

I was like WTF!  So public policy can help to an extent, but there&#039;s always going to be bad apples, much like racism.  I say just shrug off these sorry pieces of human garbage and go on doing what you want with your life because as long as you&#039;re not bothering anyone, who the fuck cares what some dope with a badge thinks.</description>

Ah, silly me. That last bit was for you.
You should chill out, actually. You are right about Canadians having a national obsession with how different we are than Americans, but the fact is it&#039;s kind of annoying living next to your country, not because of your people, but because many of you aren&#039;t aware of things outside of your country. We&#039;re not any smarter than you Americans, but we do live in a place where we see the rest of the world, and your huge monolithic culture. 

And for every snotty  Canadian there are 10 (because you are 10 times our size) Americans who think they are the most free, the most just and the most democratic country in the world.

We all have our myths. man.</description>

Good point. 
Well, as I said, if he keeps writing about how he got over the border to work illegally he may get himself barred all by himself. 

Or maybe he should take Skinny Young Dude&#039;s excellent advice and start carrying proper I.D., not just his New York passport, or whatever it was he had.

@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-152872&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;strumpetwindsock&lt;/a&gt;: 
Just read your last post. 

So someone DID piss in your poutine, or at the very least pissed you off while you were working selling popcorn at the arena.

I feel terrible for your experience with the nasty, pushy Canadians. Other than the odd border guard or internet troll, all the Americans I have met have been really nice, friendly and intelligent.

The only big problem we have is with your insane fucking government, breaking trade agreements, muscling in on our social policy, our copyright and patent laws, our energy and environmental policy, extraditing Canadians for actions in Canada which are not illegal here, kidnapping Canadians en route through the U.S. and extraditing them off to Syria to be tortured.

.. oh, and your ambassador shooting his mouth off and picking sides during our elections.

..and having one of your fighter pilots drop a bomb and kill a bunch of our soldiers, and then having comedians on Fox News crack jokes about how Canadian soldiers want a break so they can do yoga and relax.

Actually we don&#039;t mind that you don&#039;t pay attention to us all the time. Frankly we&#039;d prefer it if your government didn&#039;t know we were here at all.</description>

		<description>strumpetwindsock Canada has strong Anti-Hate speech laws correct? Hmm maybe If someone sends them copies of all the Michael Lucas Anti-Arab Rants and we shall see if Canadian Customs lets him through again!

I still want to know WHY they let Michael Lucas IN and refused entry to Mason Wyler! Wyler maybe CRAZY but he is a much more attractive HOE than Lucas! Especially one SO FAR past his &quot;Sell by Date&quot;

Nothing worse than Deeply Soured Milk!</description>

Classy comeback. And my name&#039;s in lowercase like this:

For the most part I like Americans, BTW. Very friendly, smart people. 

It&#039;s just the rude, stupid and arrogant ones I have a problem with. But then, we have a few of those up here too.</description>

		<description>Canadians:

Americans aren&#039;t to blame for the big ass chip on your shoulder.

This is going to shock you but Canada isn&#039;t the center of world attention or American attention,especially the big chunk of the American population who aren&#039;t Anglo and live far from Canada.

And the funny thing isn&#039;t that a prime time scripted fake comedy show attempts to mock Americans, but that Canadians go to such lengths, because trust me, the obsession isn&#039;t reciprocated. 

And finally please, do something about those obnoxious Canadien fans who come down to Boston for Bruins games and act like complete assholes...they put even Yankee/Red Sox fans to shame.....inform them that, yes, you need your passport as positive I.D. to buy booze, your Quebec passport isn&#039;t acceptable....how hard is this to sink into Montreal fan&#039;s skulls?</description>

Wow. Sounds like somebody pissed in your poutine, er.. baked beans, I mean.

&quot;Talking to Americans&quot; was just a covert operation to see how seriously you guys take yourselves. Guess what? You fail.
It&#039;s not all bad. After all, Rick Mercer convinced Mike Huckabee that our parliament met in a &quot;national igloo&quot;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talking_to_Americans
http://www.boingboing.net/2008/01/05/mike-huckabee-congra.html

And sure Mercer&#039;s gay. I wasn&#039;t aware that was a problem.
And yeah, he&#039;s a dropout with a string of hit TV shows.

Actually the age of consent up here is 16. There are close in age exemptions (someone 12 can have sex with someone up to age 14, and 14 up to age 18).

If you guys are all so sell-educated perhaps you should tell your brilliant Homeland Security Secretary, as well as John McCain that none of the 9-11 hijackers entered the U.S. through Canada (as they have been yapping in the past few days). You guys issued them all visas yourselves.

Funny how when things fuck up down there there are always those who point a finger in our direction. Next thing you know someone will be saying Canada was the country which broke the world economy.</description>

		<description>As someone who grew up on the border, Americans in the far reaches of our country,str8,gay,whatever, should be aware (if they aren&#039;t already) Canadians are born and raised to hate Americans ... they even had a popular PRIME-TIME TV show that mocked and ridiculed Americans by an unfunny, high school drop-out angry gay man.

Speaking of un-educated dolts, did I mention Canada has a much higher HIGH SCHOOL drop-out rate than the United States of America? Did I mention the age of consent in Canada is 14(!)...can anyone say YEE HAW!

Seriously, no wonder Canada is well known as a global center of child porn</description>

		<description>Yeah, those commonplace gay bashings in Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, etc., are just those sensitive, kumbaya loving Canadians showing their love for homosexuals unlike those fat, nasty,smelly, uncultured Americans...

That&#039;s it! That&#039;s the ticket!

I can go into any Canadian high school (for example) and it&#039;ll be a gay/lesbian paradise because, well, Canadians are fucking superior and better than the rest of the world, especially of course those 300 million fat,ugly Americans.</description>

&#039;Every
time we cross the border into Washington State we get some sort of homophobic crap about the &quot;nature of our relationship&quot; and why we live in Canada. Of course we never say its because America fucking sucks.&#039;

&#039;As a gay U.S. citizen living in Canada I found it to be a warm, open minded live and live place. Other than having to occasionally answer questions like why are Americans so fat&#039;

		<description>Queerty has been fucking up a lot lately. First they WORSHIP Perez Hilton. Then they show us irrelevant blog posts that don&#039;t help our community one bit. Now they are posting this crap about some uppity gay who enjoys piss and farts only in an attempt to tarnish Canada when America is the one passing all these Nuremburg Marriage Amendments!

Canada legalized same-sex marriage by provincial parliament vote and then national recognition. America has rejected gays state by state. Don&#039;t fucking tell me that Canada is the gay basher! I&#039;m willing to bet they will have an openly gay Prime Minister long before we ever do.

Did I also mention this site slandered Michael Phelps and lied about him having a DUI simply because he was linked to Miss California?</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Queerty has been fucking up a lot lately. First they WORSHIP Perez Hilton. Then they show us irrelevant blog posts that don&#8217;t help our community one bit. Now they are posting this crap about some uppity gay who enjoys piss and farts only in an attempt to tarnish Canada when America is the one passing all these Nuremburg Marriage Amendments!</p>

		<description>Immigration is tough on both sides of the border.  I&#039;ve been detained a number of times for no reason when going to the US.  It&#039;s luck of the draw if you get a good or bad customs/immigration officer.  To write about it like he was so hard done by is silly. The guy loves to showboat.  If he was let through with no incident then he&#039;d be writing about the slack security measures we have here.  ML is a dick, why do people even mention his name?</description>

		<description>it would be cuter for you to be propping lucas up as a gay pop culture icon if his politics were not so rotten!
 it ain&#039;t cute, blanche!
 i love &amp; respect rupaul &amp; the lady bunny but, as a consumer  i wish that their friendly collaborations with him had never been put on video.
the movies are lovely, but i think the ugly aura surrounding him can bring everything down .
 am i too oblique here?
 i like the french guy with the tattooed hairdo, francois sagan.
 wait, that&#039;s not right, what&#039;s his name??
 he is avant garde &amp; gentle.
 he has a much more positive aura and is a million times more chic than lucas.
 (i haven&#039;t watched their videos, per se)
 b. scott&#039;s online adventures with playgirl model marcus patrick have been more positive &amp; progressive than lucas&#039; reptilian collaborations with drag&#039;s two great lady standard-bearers.
 to be honest, i was disappointed when they lent him their shine.
i revere them, and it pains me -
 but, like millie jackson, I Had to Say It.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-150926&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Chinchilla Jim&lt;/a&gt;: I&#039;ll bet you are right. I did question that. You went to another country and did not double, triple check you had ID? 

He has to be paying people or trading favors to print stories about him. A story about him was on an all black site not too long ago and the host of the site stop the comments at about 19. Out of that 19 and least 14 of them were not going in his favor. Even the host of an all black site had tired of this controversy causing human being.

My guess is he is hoping new comers will go to a pay-per-view site and click on his movies. I can imagine the jump after the Gayvid awards debacle but it has gotten obvious that there is more to this over saturation of him that is going on now.</description>

		<description>Has anyone here considered the possibility this alledged border incident never happened? That&#039;s it&#039;s completely a work of literary fiction, designed to keep Lucas&#039; name in the blogs for another week, AND plug the videos he managed to prominently mention in that blog post?

Are there any witnesses to this alledged incident besides ML? NO.

Has anyone at Canadian customs made a public statement on the alledged incident? NO.

Has Queerty and the 58 commenteers above me just been punk&#039;d by ML, again?

Quite possibly.

Folks, if you notice, he pulls some Barnum and Bailey stunt every week, just to keep his name in the news cycle for another week. Admittedly, some of these stunts are real (the mic grabbing at the GAYNs, for example), others however, he just makes up out of thin air.

I suspect this one is in the latter catagory.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-150677&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Thick4Skin&lt;/a&gt;: Rest assured we ALL (those of us who are over 12 years old) have a tail or two to tell where it was always &quot;them&quot; and never &quot;us&quot; that caused the problem. 

I drive a tractor-trailer and have NO problem entering Canada or the US. Co-operate with the border guards regardless of how frustrated or board you KNOW they are. Only a dummy or well taken care of queen would bother with arguing with what will clearly be a losing argument at your expense. Any fool should know that by now. Customs agents are St. Peter as far as your vacation/business travel getting off to a rosy start.

Imagine pissing off guards so bad that they give you an x-ray and determine that something suspicious showed up. Now they have the right to not only detain you but give you laxatives to force a bowel movement. Now to put the icing on  their cake they give YOU rubber gloves and make you squeeze your own feces. 

I KID YOU NOT THE ABOVE DID NOT ONLY HAPPENED BUT THE PLANTIFFS IN THE CASE LOST. THE GUARDS WERE IN THEIR RIGHTS BECAUSE OF THE BELLIGERENCE OF THE TRAVELERS. AND IT WAS ALL ON TAPE.

Considered how over exposed this anus of a human being is what else is left for one to wonder as to who &#039;really&#039; started it.</description>

		<description>This is pathetic! Queerty should be ashamed of itself for tarnishing the good reputation of the most gay-friendly nation outside of The Netherlands!</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-150801&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Duane&lt;/a&gt;: 
And performers getting turned back or delayed at the border is an everyday occurence - even if they have paperwork in order. I have seen it happen many times at music festivals and gigs. 
So I agree, for him to tempt fate like that is foolish, and to flaunt it is even worse.</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-150801&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Duane&lt;/a&gt;: 
If he&#039;s in the country right now  working without a permit (or if he ever plans to return) it may not be the wisest move for him to be writing about it and publishing it online (and badmouthing Customs for doing their jobs). 

Not that I expect CC to target him, but if they happened to get wind of it things might not go so well for him. As several here have said doing business (working or selling) in Canada without a permit is a real big deal. 

I have heard the joke that if they caught you with guns you&#039;d get in more trouble because you might sell them than the possibility you might kill someone with them.</description>

		<description>As an owner of a gay-oriented business that serves both sides of the border, Lucas did this to himself. He was being PAID to come to Toronto for a personal appearance at a bathhouse. To do that, he is required to have a temporary working visa, which those booking him could have easily filed with no hassles. It appears they treated this like he could just come over and say he&#039;s &quot;visiting a friend&quot; and avoid any paperwork. You simply cannot do that, whether you own your own business of not. It is more stringent coming from Canada to the U.S.

If you come into the country with only $300, staying at a 5-star hotel, have a history of pornography (which it&#039;s not unreasonable for a Canada Customs agent to assume he might actually turn tricks) and say he forgot his wallet, damn right he&#039;s going to get scrutiny. Making porn is not the issue, but remember it is also an industry with that is rife with prostitution and drug trade, both of which are illegal. He gave them every right to question his trip because he didn&#039;t have all his i&#039;s dotted and t&#039;s crossed. They interrogated him multiple times because if someone is going to come in for impure motives, the holes will quickly form in their story. 

Had he have just filled out the one-page visa form (he runs his own business, this is extremely simple), had his wallet, and presumably been up front about the reason for his trip, he would likely have no problem.</description>

		<description>He is performing at a bathhouse this week in Toronto.  Which is the reason for his trip.  

Will he be paying any taxes on the money he is making for this personal appearance?</description>

		<description>@&lt;a href=&quot;#comment-150567&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;alejandro&lt;/a&gt;: I expect all government employees to act polite and professional when dealing with people - citizens or not.  

I&#039;ve had several shitty experiences dealing with US border agents, especially when traveling with my partner who is not a US citizen.  Luckily, other countries, including Canada have been nice and smooth so far.  Fingers crossed.</description>
