		<description>&quot;And, when you get right down to it, most gay men do NOT want to be with a big ol’ nelly queen!!!&quot;

But sadly so many are nelly queens...finding a masculine hot guy is like looking for a needle in a haystack and you seek a top it&#039;s like you&#039;re looking for an ant on Mars from Earth. Maybe that&#039;s why so many gay men are single!</description>

		<description>&quot;Some bears place importance on presenting a hypermasculine image and may shun interaction with, and even disdain, men who exhibit effeminacy.&quot;

Really? Its seems some are super masculine until they walk or open their mouths. Then it&#039;s an over-sized fur ball of femininity bouncing around like an annoying fly.</description>

		<description>He should have come out when he was Chairman of the RNC when he had influence and power within the GOP and could make a greater impact! Instead like too many gay republicans he choose to support candidates and a party that make opposing gay rights their platform and do nothing more than provide lips service. He was a willing doormat for our enemies.

I&#039;m sick of gay Republicans saying the aren&#039;t one-issue voters when in fact they are as they&#039;ll put something like a tax cut above their own rights yet bask in the hard fought victories of gay activists who have won the few freedoms for them they do have. Groups like GayProud are a disgrace! Recently the PAID an Coulter to give a speech at their convention. Will this group whore itself out to anyone for attention!?</description>

		<description>This should help Springfield Mo Bars, right from Wikipedia:
&quot;Bear is LGBT slang for those in the bear communities, a subculture in the gay/bisexual male communities and an emerging subset of LGBT communities with events, codes and culture-specific identity. It also describes a physical type.

Bears tend to have hairy bodies and facial hair; some are heavy-set; some project an image of working-class masculinity in their grooming and appearance, though none of these are requirements or unique indicators. Some bears place importance on presenting a hypermasculine image and may shun interaction with, and even disdain, men who exhibit effeminacy.[1] The bear concept can function as an identity, an affiliation, and an ideal to live up to, and there is ongoing debate in bear communities about what constitutes a bear, however a consensus exists that inclusion is an important part of the Bear Community.&quot;</description>
