Des om now, I’ll look back on my g out and my g of age this cy and I’ll be thankful for Gay Bars – where I have shared lghs and gossip wh iends, doled out dollar bills to drag performers and, on more than one ocsn, shed dnken tears after a strsful week. Gay bars protect those people. >>>> Chub:: a heavy set gay man.

Tampa Bay Bears, Inc is an anizatn formed by gay men wh the Bear muny to foster relatnships wh other gay members the muny and to provi support to LGBT+ chari and other charable anizatns through social activi, fund raisg, and volunteer work.
