One of the nicest gay-lesbian groups to me is the BEAR MOVEMENT (their flag here on the left).
For those who may not have a clue (here in Europe, Spain and Madrid we seem to get used to everything and I don´t know what´s known or not out there), the bear people is a cultural gay subgroup, that appeared in San Francisco in the 80s or so I think and that has particular aesthetical preferences where a certain moderl of hypermasculinity
seems to prevail. For you to have a guess, just imagine the "Village People" pop group: the policeman, the lumberjack, the cowboy, but always with good beards and moustaches (hair above all)The truth is that both BEAR, and FEMME mouvement, what they try is to break up with stereostypes (in the case of BEAR people with the afeminate gay, in the case of FEMME with the Butch type of lesbian.
The point is we like these people because of their happy point of view and we think they are absolutely bizarre (in the sense of strange, weird and brave) and the issue came today because our favourite designer just a new web site to prevent AIDS and STD among bear people.
We invite you to visit the website because it´s really enjoyable and you can play with it (but it´s in Spanish) Special prize for that one who finds the train.... :-)
