History

The Bear Brotherhood flag represents the bear community, a subculture within the LGBTQ+ community typically characterized by larger, hairier gay and bisexual men, though not exclusively. The bear identity emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s as a reaction to mainstream gay culture's emphasis on youth and hairlessness. The Bear Brotherhood flag features a bear symbol and represents solidarity, brotherhood, and acceptance within this community. The flag has become an important symbol at bear-specific events, gatherings, and pride celebrations worldwide.
