This thread with @NotMeirKey's responses, remind me of the mendy pellin video with the breslov m'shulech and the books. No matter what they answered, he whoops out a book with that title.

Perhaps some of his other stuff isn't great either, but not everything is equally problematic. I would argue that this video is the worst of them all.
Per jewish standards of course.

For the record, as of this writing, the Not Your Typical Valentine's Day Date YouTube video has more dislikes than likes. 120 thumbs up to 122 thumbs down. Also, many comments are about how upset they are. Google says that the average like/dislike Youtube ratio is 90% (9 likes to 1 dislike).

Yet, he asks, "so what if they are two men who have found comfort, peace and love amongst themselves" and "Is your house in order?"
Honestly, those questions are ridiculous as can be. Homosexuality is proscribed by the Torah to all humanity. Besides, how is it halachically OK to present a homosexual “couple” with a free hotel night?

He writes "I didn't think about the comments here on Youtube, the opinions of the community, or anyone else because I had the opportunity to brighten someone's day....

Please explain how someone who loves to bring happiness to the world doesn't consider the needs of his very own Orthodox viewership? An apology was issued to the "LGBT community" (as if very many of them even read the comments...) but no apology has yet been offered to the those viewers actually upset about it.

Mind boggling.

Meir, your house is very much not in order.

Can I assume that @NotMeirKey is not furthering the goal of this thread?

NotMeirKey (or likely Meir Key) enjoys popping in random videos as a way of showing how stupid the whole thing is. You don't care about your viewership's feelings? You only issue an apology for the homos who don't even read the comments? Grow up, really. People will actually respect you if you take down the disliked video. It will demonstrate that you are a mature adult.

Talk about growing up. @NotMeirKey is clearly succeeding in what he's trying to do, which is trolling this thread. Your continued posting here will not increase the likelihood that the video will be taken down.

I never liked Meir Kay... But meh.. I watched the video.. honestly not the type of thing your kids are going to be watching so what do you care?

Do you want to have real discourse ? Like my childhood friend from chabad family who left all of Judaism because Judaism has no place for gays?

I mean I'm not sure that's why he left, but that's my assumption.

Obviously, trolls on the internet aren't helping anything.

So in closing, Meir k is just a 2 bit celebrity showman, I am not replying on him for the meaning of life.

It's exactly why your 5 year old finds him funny, I'm sure he and uncle moishy can discuss Abraham j heschell "man in search for meaning"  and "the brothers kazmarov"

This makes no sense. This is exactly the problem, and this is today's yetzer hara. The yetzer hara finally figured out how to get people to sin openly and blatantly because it's all "in the name of love". It's black on white assur min hatorah, there is no machlokes about it and the Torah is forever. It didn't change and it wont change.

Why is there even a debate. It's wrong, he knows it and he should stop trying to defend himself. He should take a good deep look inside and ask himself whose side he wants to be on at the end of the day?

That being said, just change the channel. This isn't how you're going to effect positive change.

Hoping that your friend finds his way back (and I would think that a homosexual Jew is off the derech no matter if he keeps shabbos and wears a yarmulkeh). But that has nothing to do with a Jewish entertainer promoting a homosexual lifestyle. Yes, we should call him out for it and urge him to take it down. He doesn't care? That's his problem, not ours.

The fact that you posted here before reaching out personally proves that you don't actually have lishma reasons for posting.

The ignorance and idiocy of this comment just goes to show how much credence people should give your stupid, self-righteous, holier-than-though, religious rantings on this website.


To be clear, I'm not disagreeing with many of the sentiments expressed in this thread, just with the ignorance and callousness of many of the posts here.

Fascinating points made by the Rebbe. That said, it has nothing to do with this.

The discussion here is not about how someone with homosexual tendencies deals with the problem. The issue is about an entertainer promoting such values by giving presents and a hotel night to a homosexual "couple" for Valentines day because it brightens their day, is great for humanity, etc.

Completely wrong, against halacha, and inconsiderate to the his viewership. Again, nothing to do with that letter.
That being said, just change the channel. This isn't how you're going to effect positive change.
Sounds like a great democratic approach, but Jews that care don't just "change the channel". They make a deal about it. G-d decides results.

I wouldn't be so bold to say that I am totally lishma.
As far as if it is right to make a ruckus about it, well...that much I am pretty sure of.
