Rise up and join hands, my Bearish brothers. Let us become one... within a nation filled with Bears.... ok... maybe I'm getting a little dramatic, but there's a new profile site for you guys to peruse and it's called BearNation.us.

The following is from Rich (email), the webmaster: "BearNation.us is a live interactive online Bear community, organically driven by it's very users. Sick of static profiles? Then you're in the right place. Start connecting with all types of Bears through live private instant messaging, live group chat, blogs, and within our unique commenting engine. Post, view, and share photos, music, video and more. Create, manage, or attend events (think evite for Bears). Also create, manage, or join groups, complete with photos, uploads, and more. All this from your unique profile space. It's a new day for the Bears and masculine gay men online".
