BULLS REPORTEDLY AMONG THE TEAMS INTERTED FREE AGENT FORWARD RUDY GAY

While the LGBT muny has long had to stggle wh stereotypg by outsirs, gay men also have to al wh wily held perceptns om their peers that they're supposed to f a certa image - men who are stylish, refully groomed, trim and to a certa gree effemate. But not all gay men f this profile, and this has led part to the rise of "Bears" - gay men who are stocky, hirsute, outwardly mascule and proud of .

THE 10 GAYEST STAT IN AMERI FOR 2020

As gay culture has moved closer to the mastream, Bears have e out of the closet (or the woods) and bee one of the more visible and active subcultur wh the LGBT muny. In BEAR NATION, filmmaker Mallm Ingram (Small Town Gay Bar), tak you on a fascatg journey si a fast growg segment of the gay muny where what was once a perceived negative is now refg the fn of what looks like to be gay.

A passnate niche wh gay male circl, a bear, for the uniated, is an affectnate term for “the bigger, hairier guy, ” as Langway put . Seven years and three movi later, the “BearCy” trilogy is the biggt gay movie anchise you’ve probably never heard of. Langway partnered wh gay film distributor TLA for the first “BearCy, ” but self-fanced the next two g Indiegogo.

Najimy, beloved by gay dienc for ’90s mp classics like “Hoc Poc” and “Sister Act, ” has long been an outspoken ally for the LGBTQ muny. “She’s always been a big fan of the gay muny, and a real supporter, ” Langway said of the actrs. Guaro has been beloved by gay viewers sce his big break on Logo’s “The Big Gay Sketch Show” (which also starred a 21-year-old Kate McKnon), and has worked nsistently sce then.

Guaro has been playg gay for over a , so much so that he had a ont row seat to peak televisn’s gradual social progrs.

“I ed to play actual gay stereotyp, then I would play ments on stereotyp, and then I would play ‘real’ gay guys, ” he said.

Or even worse, they make the gay guy very mastream, so highlights the quirks of the straight person. Mastream — even pennt — film and televisn offers a very narrow sliver of the full diversy of the gay muny.

This visual intifitn wh the gay bear subculture seems timely, for 2010 appears to be my Ann Ursi, Year of the Bear. A “bear” is a hairy, beard, brawny-to-bulky gay man, ually displayg aspects of tradnal masculy. Their work mak clear that the bear muny began to alce San Francis the late 1980’s, fluenced by gay biker clubs and created by men who did not f or did not appreciate the prevailg gay athetic that valorized slenr, smooth-bodied youths.

The proto-bears did not relate to the well-groomed urban gay liftyle; they found nventnal masculy many quali worth prervg. Gay social groups lled bear clubs anized ci like Los Angel, Hoton, and New York, some servg whole stat or regns like Connecticut’s bear club, the Northeast Ursamen, that began 18 years ago. Sponsored by the clubs, weekend gathergs lled “bear ns” began, first gay-iendly spots like the Rsian River, Provcetown, and San Francis, and later plac where you might never expect such gathergs to occur, such as Roanoke, Virgia, where the lol club, Virgia Mounta Bears, has twice hosted an annual weekend event lled Mounta Bear Madns.

At the same time that I was absorbg the manly woodland fluenc, I was also explorg gay bars and g to terms wh my queer inty. While the larger gay muny had never ma me feel wele, bears ma me feel as if I uld be two thgs that had always seemed irrencilable: my homosexualy and my untry roots. The bear muny, like the leather world, has also ma me ls apologetic for cherishg many aspects of tradnal manhood, which I’d been raised to admire and which I emulated to some extent my own homomascule genr evolutn.

“Homomasculy” is a term Surha attribut to Jack Frscher, the former Dmmer magaze edor and thor of the classic gay and pop culture novel, Some Dance to Remember (1999), featurg a bearish ma character. Wikipedia f “homomasculy” as “a subculture of gay men who self-intify wh the imagery, culture, and genr role of what is normally seen as ‘tradnal, straight male masculy.

’” The bear muny embrac and celebrat homomasculy whout sistg on one stylized look as a pre- requise for entry to s muni, as queer leather culture.

The homomascule bear look, often seemgly intil to that of workg-class and ral men and currently epomized as the “mcle-bear, ” has been rerced by the eroticizatn of those looks bear magaz.

Jack Malebranche, his 2006 book, Androphilia: A Manifto, exriated the effemacy pervadg gay male culture and enuraged same-sex-lovg men to return to a more nventnal manls. Crics such as Surha characterized the dogged sistence on hypermascule behavr for gay men as troublg and rejected this “butch-ier than thou” attu as herently misogynistic, opprsive, and self-loathg.

This opposn to masculy seems unnecsarily prcriptive to me, as prcriptive as sistg that gay men all hie to “butch mp” to learn how to be macho—as if Eros paid any attentn to polil rrectns; as if, chagred by radil queer disapproval, a man uld change what he fds arog and what he fds admirable. Burack has ma clear her 2008 book S, Sex, and Democracy: Antigay Rhetoric and the Christian Right, relig fundamentalists hate all equally.

I myself have often said I want to be the kd of guy who n punch out a gay-basher and also bake good biscus. L Wright, former profsor at Mount Ida College near Boston, eded two volumo amic anthologi for Haworth Prs, The Bear Book: Readgs the History and Evolutn of a Gay Male Subculture (1997) and The Bear Book II: Further Readgs the History and Evolutn of a Gay Male Subculture (2001). The two books, along wh Ray Kampf’s whimsil The Bear Handbook (2000), helped fe this new breed of queer masculy, jog a flurry of new perdil tl, such as Daddy, Amerin Grizzly, and Bunkhoe, which veloped this new homomascule ia to a regnizable image.

Ron Surha’s groundbreakg 2002 book, Bears on Bears: Interviews and Discsns, which featured gay lerary figur such as David Bergman, Michael Bronski, Richard Labonté, and Mark Thompson, chronicled the many facets of the movement. Like lots of Appalachians, I’m a big untry mic fan (another passn that has alienated me om mastream gay culture) as well as a lover of Southern food and untry okg. We end up attendg two different shows a lol gay bar and enjoyg ourselv immensely.

In the followg year, a fay of bears (Daddy, Mommy, and Baby Bear) broke to gaystream cema as mor characters John Waters’ fetishistic farce, A Dirty Shame. Bear Cub, a feature-length tragiedia by Spanish bear filmmaker Miguel Albalajo, portrays a gay bear’s relatnship wh his prec nephew and received popular acclaim.

A new documentary, Bear Natn, om Small Town Gay Bar filmmaker Mallm Ingram, and the feature-length romantic edy Bear Cy both premiered at the Newft GLBT film ftival June.
