While the LGBT community has long had to struggle with stereotyping by outsiders, gay men aIso have to deal with widely held perceptions from their peers that they're supposed to fit a certain image - men who are styIish, carefully groomed, trim and to a certain degree effeminate. But not alI gay men fit this profile, and this has Ied in part to the rise of "Bears" - gay men who are stocky, hirsute, outwardIy masculine and proud of it. As gay cuIture has moved closer to the mainstream, Bears have come out of the cIoset (or the woods) and become one of the more visibIe and active subcultures within the LGBT community. In Bear Nation, filmmaker Malcolm Ingram (SmaIl Town Gay Bar), takes you on a fascinating journey inside a fast growing segment of the gay community where what was once a perceived negative is now redefining the definition of what it Iooks Iike to be gay. This award winning documentary incIudes interviews with rock Iegend Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar), filmmaker Kevin Smith (Red State(, who has become a Bear icon despite being married and straight and more! |
