I’ve been part of the bear community for over a decade and am so happy to see how we’ve blossomed.
I’m only in my early thirties yet have seen such a positive shift in our furry world since I first made my way inside legendary bear bar Rockbar back in the late 2000’s.
I’ve also heard countless stories from men older than me who have shared so many stories about how bears were shunned by many and the pretty boys were always the ones that got the attention.
Sorry fellas, but Its time for them to make room for us as we are here, queer, and enjoy a tasty burger with our beer.
The beauty that makes up the bear community knows no limits. There’s so much handsomeness on a worldwide level that you can’t just pinpoint one type that could be our poster boy.
The photos below prove that and then some. Its filled with all types of men that embrace who they are through and through.
Here’s hoping that the bear community continues to flourish as LGBTQ acceptance grows bigger and bigger with each passing year.
