Quote: Being a Bear is celebrating my masculine gay roots with a tender side... It's feeling naturally comfortable with myself... Extending a friendly paw to someone else... Telling myself that being non-mainstream is ok... Being proud of my body & Facial hair... Being in a brotherhood that validates me... Accepting others as I want to be accepted... Appreciating my stocky build... Being a Bear is as variable as the number of bears in our community. CUB, GRIZZLY, DADDY BEAR, BEARMAN, HIRSUTE, MUSKY, BEARHUGS...

To a great bear that taught me a couple of great things about life and was always there to listen to me or Timidtiger anytime we needed some one to talk to. As much as people call me a Bigbear I will never be albe to fill his shoes or take his place. So I hope he has found peace where he has gone. R.I.P. David Mathers aka BigBear.
