	Bear community
		The bear community is a subset of the gay community, which is often divided into subcommunities for the purpose of establishing common interests with peers.
		Bear men sometimes disassociate themselves from the gay community at large, having their own bars and social events where they can socialize with other members of the bear community.
		The bear community was created by men who didn't feel that they fit into mainstream gay culture, believing it to place unnecessary emphasis on gay men who fit a particular bodily norm (thin, hairless and young).

	Talk:Bear community - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bear, it should be noted, is more the attitude of acceptance our own flaws as being part of who we are, rather than trying to live up to an image.
		On the topic of bears in history, I admit that it seems a little spurious, but to refer to it as ridiculous is to overstep the bounds of language.
		It is important to recognise that while some personalities in history were not called 'bears' (or ursus) in their day, the basis of hirsute, masculine men engaging in homosexual activity is a pertinent point of reference for community origins.

		Since the powers that be at Bear Stearns refuse to take any action on this issue to resolve this problem (it has cost me a great deal of time, money and resources over the years dealing with their stupid employees), I have decided to start publishing a great deal of this information.
		Considering our TOS was published well before Bear Stearns ever used internet email, and considering their corporate office is well aware of this issue (and has been for at least 8 years as of this writing) they really don't have a leg to stand on.
		If you are a customer of Bear Stearns or any of their divisions, such as EMC mortgage, I suggest you call your contact there and ask them why they are not taking steps to protect your private data?
