United Kingdom: BearSpace

Uncategorized

There are many identifiable sub-groups within the rainbow community – from lipstick lesbians to twinks or leather men, diversity is generally embraced. And when you do find your tribe, it can be a life-changing moment. One group that rarely needs a descriptive introduction are the Bears. But what do we really know about Bear culture?

Taking us into the world of Bears – including an intriguing right of passage that seems to have become a kind of “coming out” as a Bear – our guest tonight is Dr Nick Mcglynn from the University of Brighton in the UK. He authored the research report: BearSpace: Experiences Of Fat GBQ Men In Spaces Of The UK’s Bear Community.
