Gaytionary: Bears

Bears



Definition: A beefy/husky gay man with a lot of facial/body hair. Some famous gatherings for bears exist, such as Guerneville's Lazy Bear Weekend every late July. (As far as I know, NO relation to the Golden Bear Classic softball tournament. But you never know. Clever gays.) Related terms: cub, daddy.

From resourcesforbears.com:

However, the word "Bear" means many things to different people, even within the bear movement. Many men who do not have one or all of these characteristics define themselves as bears, making the term a very loose one. Suffice it to say, "bear" is often defined as more of an attitude than anything else - a sense of comfort with our natural masculinity and bodies that is not slavish to the vogues of male attractiveness that is so common in gay circles and the culture at large.

Used as: "Before the Brawny man decided to shave, he was definitely a BILF! Woof!"
