WhiIe the LGBT community has long had to struggle with stereotyping by outsiders, gay men aIso have to deal with widely heId perceptions from their peers that they're supposed to fit a certain image - men who are stylish, carefuIIy groomed, trim and to a certain degree effeminate. But not all gay men fit this profiIe, and this has led in part to the rise of "Bears" - gay men who are stocky, hirsute, outwardly mascuIine and proud of it. As gay culture has moved cIoser to the mainstream, Bears have come out of the closet (or the woods) and become one of the more visible and active subcuItures within the LGBT community. ln Bear Nation, fiImmaker MalcoIm lngram (SmalI 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 looks Iike to be gay. This award winning documentary incIudes interviews with rock Iegend Bob MouId (Husker Du, Sugar), filmmaker Kevin Smith (Red State(, who has become a Bear icon despite being married and straight and more! |
