Bear Pride
Last I checked, there were at least four contenders for the title of "Official Bear Pride Flag", whatever that would mean. I find that kind of charming, reminiscent of those lessons in elementary-school history class about all the different colonial and U.S. flags that existed before the Betsy Ross.Anyway, I was making up some bumper stickers for my car and realized that I wanted both a rainbow and a leather pride flag, but wanted to get that bear thing in there somehow. So I made up my own Bear Pride flag. I really don't care for any of the others anyway.
What is a bear? Ask that question on a bear-oriented newsgroup and see what kind of response you get. I will only say that my NBCS code is as follows:
B4 k+ f t+ w+ c+ s+ r- p
I think that means I have a trimmed beard, I'm kinkier than average, am
not particularly furry, am tall and heavyset, am disproportionately
possessed of the "cub factor", prefer to keep possessiveness out of
relationships, tend to stay indoors and am rather peculiar (duh). A
good page to start at for information on bears and our "movement" if
such exists may be found at 
(see? the motif is
catching on already ;) ), along with the other, lesser flags and a ton
of cute icons. Woof!
