What are we? Why do we exist? Who's welcome?
The New York Bear Den was established to fulfill a void in the New York City Bear Community.
Bears are social creatures, therefore we have created "The New York Bear Den!"
We provide a hate-free, alcohol-free, attitude-free alternative to the "bar scene" -- a space
to socialize once a month where you can sit back... relax... meet... chat... play games and make
friends with some woofy guys of all ages, races, types and interests.
We also occasionally schedule other activities giving members even more opportunity to
socialize such as movie nights, dining out, parties (note: some NY Bear Den party venues
such as bars or private parties may serve alcohol as well as other beverages.
We also participate in other events with other organizations to promote NY Bear Den and
raise awareness of our existence, such as gay/bear pride events/marches, "the original gay expo",
fundraisers, Folsom Street East, Joe Fiore's Furball and many more!
The Bear Den welcomes all men that identify themselves as "bears" (a "bear", in our
definition of the word, is a gay, bisexual or transgendered man with an average to large build,
who may or may not have body hair and/or facial hair, a typically rugged (butch) demeanour, a tempered
maturity and an optional interest in leather.
NOTE: This includes those typically known as "cubs", "chubs", "chasers", and their
male admirers, regardless of their own particular attributes or physical qualities).
Participants are encouraged to bring cards, board games, hobby/collector's materials, books, magazines,
music and anything else they wish to share with the group.
NY BEAR DEN IS PROUDLY LISTED WITH THE FOLLOWING!
