GatorBears is a group for masculine, hairy men and their admirers. There are many definitions of what a bear should look like. As far as this group is concerned, there are no physical ins or outs. All are welcome who are interested in bears. Founded in 1996 the Gatorbears is designed to be a social group of men who get together to have fun and enjoy the company of other gay men who share their interests. We have no "membership" requirements, no dues, and only a generalized "steering committee". The only thing we do ask of our "members" is that everyone who is interested in the group should join our mailing list. The list is a Yahoo!Group that we use to disseminate information about events, or to just share interesting news with the group. More information can be found at www.gatorbears.com. If you should have any questions please feel free to email us direct at:
