Stevo Harris, publisher of A Bear's Life, a magazine that celebrates the Bear community. He writes about the early 1990s when "groups of men similar to us in looks and interests, most of them big, hairy, friendly and affectionate guys, were forming clubs, a sub-culture of the gay community. They called themselves "Bears." When you walked into a bear bar, it was like stepping through a magic door that transported you to a place where you felt normal, wanted, desired, and liked. That is an AMAZING ability for anyone to possess." Check out the magazine's website at www.abearslifemag.com
