It's almost that time again ~ another Bear Pride which is hosted by the Great Lake Bears of Chicago, Illinois. The event takes place on Memorial Day Weekend, from May 22nd thru May 25th.

From their site: "Being located in the third largest city in the US, Bear Pride offers the most urban of settings for this premiere event. Bear Pride 15 is set to celebrate the unique and welcoming character of 'The Windy City'. This celebration of the Bear community is front and center over the Memorial Day weekend, with special emphasis put on the history of Chicago as a major destination for the GLBT community. Great Lakes Bears, the sponsor club of Bear Pride, began in 1989 and holds a place as one of the oldest Bear organizations in the country".

Joe (photo - articles - profile) is on fire. Some know him as Joe Mannetti, others as Joe Falconi... I think I'll just call him Joe since he's the only famous Joe Bear that I know of. After winning Mr Long Beach Pride Bear/Cub '08 and recently Mr. Los Angeles Bear '08, Joe took home this weekend the title of Mr. Southern California Bear '08. Triple wow...! As he says "IBR, here I come".

In other, sobering news, check out Joe's latest article entitled Can't we all get Along?. It's about Prop 8 (article) but not just about 'straight vs gay' but more 'what colour voted more for Prop 8', as in, the news keeps bringing up the issue that "Black support for 8 was larger than any other group, including Hispanics". Alas, Joe is super cute yet he does tackle some hard hitting issues as being a Bearish supporter, fund-raiser and an upcoming important voice in the GLBT community.
