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.

The mastream gay bars I most often equented left me ld. 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.

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.
