It’s gay pride for bears. Bears traditionally being older, stockier/larger, and usually hairier than main stream depictions of gay men and male models, but it’s actually pretty inclusive and more about male body positivity, brotherhood, and acceptance than fitting any actual physical stereotype.
Can confirm. Fifteen years ago, the Parliament House bear den was the most transmasc friendly gay bar in Orlando, and most of us aren’t big enough to actually be stereotypical bears, lol.
This is probably gonna sound stupid, but what is bear pride?

As a straight man I’ve always taken a bit of self confidence from the fact that dudes like me could be considered attractive :)
I had to read your comment a few times to try and figure out if you were talking about actual bears or not
