Bear-y Gay

A subculture of hefty, hirsute gay men is attracting the attention of academics and social critics.

LA Times: February 4, 2007

"Oh, by the way, in addition to 19th century American literature, I work on bear studies."

The interlocutors were perplexed. "Bear studies?" one asked. "Do you mean bears in literature — say, William Faulkner's story 'The Bear' ?" Someone else suggested "Winnie the Pooh" — perhaps the candidate worked on children's literature?

Hairy Men Converge In A Simple Leisure Time

By Jim Jordan

Gay Life in America

Imagine a few thousand hairy men descending upon a small town, and all for the purpose of lounging around the pool, playing games, eating and hanging out in the bars or at the bonfire. A limited shopping district, no contests, no pageants.

No attitude. Also, no phones and no internet service, either! That’s Lazy Bear!

Studying Bears

by Andrew Sullivan

The Atlantic Online, January 6, 2007

My own view is that the minute you start taking bear culture too seriously, you've lost it. It's fun and unpretentious and easy-going. And slovenly masculinity has always been integral to male homosexuality; it has just often been eclipsed by heterosexual obsession with gender-nonconformism among homosexuals.

The End Of Bear Week

by Andrew Sullivan

The Daily Dish, July 14, 2007

"What's it about? In part a celebration of mature masculinity - untweaked, unshaven, full-bellied masculinity. Simultaneously, it's an attempt to subvert a little of that masculinity. The atmosphere is almost aggressively gentle, good-humored, accepting, and friendly. These are not men trying to impress anyone, nor trying to throw their considerable weight around. Mostly over forty, these men are not traumatized by having a gut or some flab. They're not afraid that back-hair tumbles over their collar. They're not afraid to embrace their sexual orientation as fully as their gender.  . ."
