HubbyHubby a flavor for Marriage Equality

by SFBrawnyBear on March 17, 2010

Yum  – Ice Cream!

Ben and Jerry renames ChubbyHubby (which could describe a good portion of our readers) in support of Marriage Equality -

In partnership with Freedom to Marry we are gathered here to celebrate Vermont and all the other great states where loving couples of all kinds are free to marry legally. We have ceremoniously dubbed our iconic flavor, Chubby Hubby to Hubby Hubby in support, and to raise awareness of the importance of marriage equality. Check out our press release.

If you live in Vermont, or visiting, you’re invited to celebrate the pride-filled occasion with an all naturally fabulous union of Peanut Butter Cookie Dough ice cream, fudge and pretzels. Enjoy our Hubby Hubby Sundae for the month of September in participating Vermont Scoop Shops!

Looking for Bear Band Mates

by SFBrawnyBear on March 13, 2010

One of our regular readers asked that we pass this on-

Bay Area Bear Band Mates

Well, i’m hoping to meet some bear guys that are musically inclined, and like to jam out to classic rock tunes. Possibly even do some original songs. Maybe play the Castro Street Fair, or Lazy Bear etc. Maybe just get together and jam, and see what happens.

I have a lot of ideas for original songs, and looking to collaborate.

If interested, call George or Glenn at: 510-778-4252

Confessions of a call bear

by SFBrawnyBear on March 11, 2010

Salon ran an interesting piece today -

Confessions of a call bear

In gay culture I am what is known as a “bear”: bigger, hairier men who favor some kind of facial hair and tend to embody a jeans-and-shirt version of masculinity. Of course there are also metrosexual bears who groom their eyebrows and wear black tie to the opera. Some of us are stocky but in generally good shape; others are what the American Medical Association considers morbidly obese. There are leather bears, muscle bears and polar bears (men whose beards or body hair are white). I myself have been called a “ginger bear” (a British expression, from their term for redheads) and, when I had shoulder-length hair, a “lion.”

Because there are other woodland creatures to be found among the “bear community.” (I strongly resist the ideas “of “community” among gays in general and bears specifically, but for the sake of expediency let’s just roll with it.) Probably the most interesting sub-category of bear is that of “cub,” because it has so many variations. For some, the term cub designates someone younger, who may or may not want to be mentored in the way of the bear; for others, it’s more about relative stature or lack thereof, regardless of the guy’s age; and for still others, it simply indicates a strong identification with the bear “culture” without such physical trappings as a furry chest.

What, no pictures?  What fun is that?
