It was the original periodical specifically geared toward gay men who are or who admire real masculine men, proudly sporting body and facial hair. We are not too vain to admit that we have enough salt-n-pepper whiskers to prove that we were there from the beginning. This modest flyer morphed into an internationally distributed, high-gloss magazine featuring photographs of masculine men, stories, features of interest to the emerging bear identity and a classified personals section, which prior to the Internet was one of the only means of finding long-distance, and even regional, connections. The lore is that the company was named for the town where their vacation cabin was located, Brush Creek, California. BEAR ceased publication in In , BEAR underwent the most dramatic metamorphosis of its history, re-emerging with a new publisher, a new look and a new direction to reflect the many levels of an emerging contemporary, mature, masculine, upscale market. BEAR is now taking it's final leap to becoming a sophisticated resource for an evolved audience.

Years ago, when I still believed that marriage was something I should strive for, I was told a joke by an older woman who had more experience than me. I now understand it completely, as it has turned out to be my life. I was born in Ireland in the mids to free-spirited American parents who never married. By the time I was five, they were separated and my brother and I lived in Ireland with our father, visiting our mother in the various countries she lived in, including the United States, Turkey and Germany.
