* gay bear tune *
COVID-19 has seen a surge quarante mil projects sce lockdown h earlier the year and one act that ught the attentn of the world, spe some unfortunate mistreatment om YouTube, was MAN ON MAN, the gay bear/daddy duo featurg Fah No More‘s Roddy Bottum and his real-life partner Joey Holman. For those not the know, the gay bear scene is dited to hairier, cuddlier dividuals who don’t reprent the mastream gay scene stigma of beg clean cut, pretty and sportg abs for days, but rather a group of happy-go-lucky lads who are fortable our own sk who (until now) barely had reprentatn the mic scene….

Beg a member of the gay bear/daddy scene (albe, not really a label guy per se), I thk ’s rehg to see an act like MAN ON MAN pictg our culture and showsg gay men as we are: mature, gged and hairy (unlike the stereotypil clean-cut mastream gay scene).
We regnise now that what we’re dog is speakg to a facet of gay culture a way that hasn’t been addrsed before. It don’t have to reflect the gay scene and hopefully n be streamed/listened to by anyone who turn may dite to their loved one. (Joey) It’s actually 100% gay.

“Beg gay the public eye feels polil but to extend that prence to an hont appraisal of my relatnship my work feels somewhat more polil.
