[EAN: 9781590212448], Neubuch, RON JACKSON SURESHA,NONFICTION,PSYCHOLOGY AND COUNSELING,INTERPERSONAL RELATIONS,SOCIAL SCIENCES,SEXUALITY, This item is printed on demand. Paperback. Challenging, thought-provoking, often humorous, Bears on Bears is a penetrating study of the gay and bisexual masculine subculture called Bears. Widely excerpted in the GLBTIQ media, this groundbreaking collection of 30 firsthand interviews with 62 men from across the Bear community and around the world. Contributors comprise a virtual Whos Who of turn-of-the-century Beardom: comedian Bruce Vilanch, Survivor Richard Hatch, model Jack Radcliffe, and authors David Bergman, Michael Bronski, Jack Fritscher, Wayne Hoffman, Arnie Kantrowitz, Richard Labont, Dr. Lawrence Mass, Eric Rofes, Mark Thompson, and Les K. Wright. This revised edition is updated with new interviews with Bear filmmakers Kevin Bowe and Dan Hunt, radio personality Larry Flick, author Jonathan Cohen, and Metropolitan Community Church founder Rev. Troy Perry. These men examine their furrier side and reveal their experiences as gay and bi men whose personal image and lifestyle were at odds with the stereotypical ephebic, effeminate gay man and fashion-obsessed gay culture, and who found affirmation inside the intimate brotherhood of Bears. Bears on Bears challenges the conventional image of male beauty and contemporary concepts of masculinity in a portrayal of a community that makes for fascinating reading on many levels.
