Dear Mike,

Welcome . . .

Chewin' the Fat is a publication from The Complete Bear designed for the bear community. It is published on the 2nd and 4th Fridays of the month.

Chewin' the Fat will offer up the best of the bear lifestyle - casual, cool, or woofy. Whatever it takes to complete the bear.

For the bear, his cub and their den . . .

 Et tu, Liza?
 

Marriage With the pending Prop 8 ballot measure looming, every domestically coupled couple we know has or is tying the knot. Liza (The Mistress of Procurement) and Jody were no exception. A week after our little get together up north, the happy coupled tied the knot as we sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge.

No on 8, Don't Eliminate Marriage for Anyone

 The Freedom to Live and Love
 

and Tango Makes Three At The Complete Bear, we believe in celebrating life and being who we are. No closets, no stereotypes, and acceptance of the furry (often round) bodies that we live in - basically it's about living fully. Our definition of living fully includes the freedom of choice. We advocate for the freedom for all people to marry, to adopt, to serve and to live and love how they choose.

We believe in making informed healthy choices, but realize ultimately it is up to you to decide what's best for your mind, body and spirit. When it comes to feeding your brain, we feel the same way.

Not every movie, TV show or book is to our liking, but we appreciate that others may find value in choices that do not appeal to us. And we appreciate that we have the option not view or read things that are not to our liking. The key word being the "option" or freedom to choose.

This week is the American Library Association's Banned Books Week

You have the right to choose. You have the right to vote. You have the right to stop discrimination. You have the right to make a difference.

So whether its a book about gay penguins or the right to marry your husbear - we must fight and protect these liberties as if our lives depended on it - because they do!

 


 Beef Mag - Issue 38
 

Beef Mag 38 OK, I am not saying this is the best issue ever, but . . .

It does feature an interview with yours truly - and no you don't see my weenie LOL. But there is plenty of that, as well!

100% BEEF is a bimonthly adult men's publication, by, for, and about the celebration of mature, masculine adult men. We celebrate the natural beauty and unparalleled sex appeal of real, natural, mature adult males. Our models' bellies are more likely to hold a six-pack than resemble one. Our belief that masculine men of all sizes, shapes, ages, and backgrounds are beautiful and sexy is communicated in each issue through the writing, illustrations, photography, and the choices of men we feature as models.
