your last post about Erez Oved is still tagged with "homophobia," and I fear that this is another case of "oops we got outraged because we got our news on Tumblr."

Oved is an actor who identifies as bi/pansexual. He is VERY open about Yakov Levy being a character he created for the song "conversion therapy," which highlights the absolutely shameful practice of conversion therapy which is still very rampant in religious circles.

I can't imagine his intent is to defraud anyone, because he want to be recognized as himself so people hire him for their projects and buy his book. I mentioned this on the post, but the last "incriminating" screenshot is promoting the above mentioned short. To him, and anyone who is vaguely familiar with Israeli media, his Yakov Levy character is just an exploration of the Haredi world he encountered while researching a role.

(and he was born and raised in Jerusalem, so I'm not even sure he doesn't come from a modern orthodox or traditional family. He surely has at least secondhand experience with religion, it's unavoidable in Jerusalem)

Is it in good taste? Is it a valid way of giving a voice to religious queer folks in Bnei Brak, who you can be damn sure have no social media presence of their own to leverage? Should he have made it clearer to an international audience that this is a character he's exploring? Is it a little cynical and patronizing? All debatable, and I definitely see all sides of the argument. But calling other queer Jews homophobic is just... Nah.

I tagged it as homophobia because in case people didn't want to see something that could be seen as homophobia, which it could. He is taking the voice away of actual queer orthodox jews who live in communities they can't be open in, and telling the world that their experience is easy and supportive, which simply isn't true. It can be dangerous to be gay in a lot of orthodox communities. I didn't call him homophobic and I don't think I ever questioned if he was Israeli? AFAIK that's irrelevant.

He was not open at all about it being a character. That's what the problem was. He didn't tell people that he was just an actor and he wasn't even chassidic. His "apology" was essentially patting himself on the back for solving homophobia in the charedi community. He is still trying to sweep his actions under the rug and post like normal as this character. His comments are full of people still calling him out or people who don't know it's a character and calling him brave for being gay and orthodox.
