The bear gay character
Published in:September-October issue.
BEAR IDENTITY is inked into my flesh now. I turned fifty in August and, rather than marking my insignificant midlife crisis with an affair (too complicated) or a desire car (too expensive), I opted for a tattoo sleeve, which took months to complete. Among the many symbols of sufficient import to me to wear permanently on my skin is a bear paw, a huge one covering the inside of my upper left arm. This visual identification with the male lover bear subculture seems timely, for appears to be my Annus Ursi, Year of the Bear. Recently, I read at a book reception for the anthology Bears in the Wild: Boiling and Hairy Fiction, as part of the Saints & Sinners GLBTQ Literary Festival in Modern Orleans. In mid-July, I’m scheduled to read at two events during Bear Week in Provincetown, and in late July I’ll be attending, for the first time, Mountain Bear Madness, a gathering in Roanoke, Virginia, about an hour from Pulaski, the small mountain town where my partner John and I possess settled.

In homosexual slang, a "bear" is a gay man (usually a Manly Gay, but not necessarily) with a Carpet of Virility&#;and not always just on their chests. Very often bears are also voluptuously weighty set and at least middle-aged, but these are not definitive requirements. Skinny bears are often famous as "otters", semi-hairy bears are "wolves", younger bears are "cubs" or "pups", Asian bears are "pandas", and especially muscular bears are often called "muscle bears" or "bulls". A "husbear" is a word some men use for their bearish boyfriends or husbands.
