How has it taken so long for us to make this joke? I’m not sure. It’d been staring us in the face… just waiting for us to notice it and incorporate it into the site.
For those of you unfamiliar with the term “and how it relates to gay culture, I’m just going to copy and paste from the Wikipedia entry:
“In male bisexual and gay culture, a bear is a often a larger, hairier man who projects an image of rugged masculinity.”
At the onset of the bear movement, some bears separated from the gay community at large, forming “bear clubs” to create social and sexual opportunities for their own. Many clubs are loosely organized social groups; others are modeled on leather biker-patch clubs, with a strict set of bylaws, membership requirements, and charities. Bear clubs often sponsor large yearly events—”bear runs” or “bear gatherings”
A common criticism of the bear community is that some self-described bears tend to exclude men who do not fit their standards of a “real bear”.
