How emotionally attached are you with the queer community in Aotearoa?
Tia: In the past, I've done some promo labor for the Burnett Foundation Aotearoa Love Your Condom campaign, and in 2014 I was part of the First Kiss (Gay Version) viral YouTube video. And then in 2020, I competed for Mr Gay New Zealand and I won Mr Congeniality. In 2024, I won Mr Bear New Zealand.
Morro: I’m not as active now, but I used to go to a lot of the bear events. I also won Mr Bear New Zealand, and then went on to compete alongside the Australian states, and I ended up winning Mr Bear Australasia – both in 2017. After that, I made a lot of friends and met so many people from all over the world.

Tia: Ever since Aotearoa was colonised, entity takatāpui was frowned-upon, not only by Western population, but among our hold Māori communities as adv.

BEAR Culture is inked into my flesh now. I turned fifty in August 2009 and, rather than marking my minor midlife crisis with an affair (too complicated) or a think of car (too expensive), I opted for a tattoo sleeve, which took months to complete. Among the many symbols of sufficient import to me to wear permanently on my skin is a bear paw, a big one covering the inside of my upper left arm. This visual identification with the gay bear subculture seems timely, for 2010 appears to be my Annus Ursi, Year of the Bear. Recently, I read at a novel reception for the anthology Bears in the Wild: Hot and Hairy Fiction, as part of the Saints & Sinners GLBTQ Literary Festival in Modern Orleans. In mid-July, I’m scheduled to read at two events during Bear Week in Provincetown, and in late July I’ll be attending, for the first time, Mountain Bear Madness, a gathering in Roanoke, Virginia, about an hour from Pulaski, the small mountain town where my partner John and I have settled.
Many vertical folks are unaware of the bear subculture. Hardly a surprise, since a powerful majority rarely concerns itself with the doings of a marginalized m
In the Australian vernacular, a cub is a Cashed Up Bogan. Cubs are found in suburbs where they plainly don't belong, often having arrived as a result of an inheritance, lottery conquer or some other unexpected windfall.
Although cubs live in aesthetically pleasing suburban residences, the following traits still give them away:
* Affordable plastic chairs on the front porch.
* A monumental ashtray - usually a baby formula tin or large coffee can, also on the front porch.
* Females can often be seen sunning themselves on the same front porch (usually in a affordable blue nylon dressing gown) on weekend mornings.
* Cigarette butts on the lawn of both their possess and their neighbors.
* The high-pitched voice of the female of the species.
* Mating sounds on a Friday night (not to be confused with that of a Tasmanian Devil).
Note that because the bogan is now cashed-up, the car in the driveway is no longer an indicator, often having been replaced by an not-so-older series Ford or Holden.

"Roman Wright is six foot two and hairy-chested. He's a bear cub because he's only 28 years old.
With that height, he will definitelynever be an otter, though."

A lofty, handsome man who resembles a baby bear. Usually with big brown eyes and strong (possibly hairy) arms to cuddle the chubby-handed creatures that travel by the name of 'Lucy'. Bear cubs often attract the prettiest Lucy's with their wit, charm and good looks. Some bear cubs are also know to be proficient when texting in a sexual nature. This doubles up as a mating call for the Lucy creatures.
Look, there goes that Bear Cub trying toget off withLucy.
