FAQ about Bear Pride
What do the colors in the Bear Flag mean?
The Bear Pride flag – also called the Bear Pride Flag – was created in 1995 by Craig Byrnes to give visibility to bear culture: a subculture within the LGBTQ+ community, especially among gay men who often value masculinity, body hair, and community.
The flag features seven horizontal stripes in the following colors:
-
Brown, rust, golden, cream, gray, black, and white: These represent the natural variation in hair and skin colors among bears and their diversity worldwide.
In the top-left corner is a black paw print, symbolizing the animalistic, playful, and friendly aspects of bear identity.
What does the Bear Pride flag represent, and who does it represent?
The Bear Pride flag symbolizes the bear community within the LGBTQIA+ world—typically masculine, hairy men and their admirers. It celebrates body diversity, masculinity, and solidarity among men who may not fit mainstream gay stereotypes.
Do you have to look a certain way to identify as a 'bear'?
No. While many bears are masculine and hairy, the identity is about community and self-acceptance—not appearance. Anyone who feels part of bear culture is welcome.
Why is Bear Pride an important part of LGBTQIA+ culture?
Bear Pride makes space for diversity among gay men, where body positivity and alternative ideals are celebrated. It’s a response to the body- and youth-focused mainstream gay culture.
What’s the difference between a bear, a cub, and an otter in LGBTQIA+ culture?
In bear culture, terms like “bear,” “cub,” and “otter” describe different types of masculine queer individuals. A bear is typically an older, hairier, and broader man; a cub is a younger version; and an otter is slimmer but still hairy. It’s more about community and identity than strict labels.
