Gay History Lesson: Remember When The Advocate Invented Bears?

Yes, that's right. You have to thank our sister publication for the iconic gay lingo!

There seems to be some discussion about who actually coined the term "bear" as a descriptive term for hairy, burly, thick gay men. Some claim it was Richard Bulger, who, along with his then-partner, Chris Nelson (1960-2006), founded Bear Magazine in 1987. But nope! It was Out's sister publication The Advocate! Bulger and Nelson were smart enough to make a cottage industry of it.

Arguably, the first usage was by George Mazzei in his article "Who's Who at the Zoo?" in the July 26, 1979, issue of The Advocate. Beautifully illustrated by talented longtime Advocate cartoonist Gerard Donelan, the article went on to blithely categorize other gay men and lesbians as types of animals in the zoo.

It was a simpler time. Is it funny now? Does it hold up? That's for you to judge.

Scroll through to see more of Mazzei and Donelan's epic gay animal glossary!

Realize deeply that the present moment is all you have. Make the NOW the primary focus of your life! Time isn’t precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time—past and future—the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is. . . . . . . . . . . . . #instabear #bearwww #sexybeard #bearchaser #bearchaser #thebearmag #homobears #purebloodedbears #gaybeard #beardedhomo #stockybears #ursos #chunkyguys #bearscubsandscruff #gaybear #thescruffybear #bearsofinstagram #beardsofinstagram #gaybeard #beardedgay (at Majahual, Quintana Roo, Mexico) https://www.instagram.com/p/BpYFma5Fx7pWi5ix3lz9RxpO0D2h0me86ZRaZs0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=67wlmrjhaju5

O importante é incentivarmos uns aos outros a buscar a verdade plena, ou (...) a lidar com a realidade como ela é. #themidnightgospel . . . #bearded #beardlove #beardlover #beardlovers #instagaybear #handsomebear #urso #ursoslindosdobrasil #bearsociety #originalbears #originalbears #beardedbear #bearwww #woofer #woofer #picsbybear #beargeek #bearnerd #instagaybear https://www.instagram.com/p/CEXzPECJxol/?igshid=1cdvzipb508rx

Hacemos gestos para atraer, para rechazar y para interpretar el estado de placer, somos un tablero de interruptores emocionales muy sofisticado, yo que hoy contempló la luz tras el cristal puedo interpretar que estoy ansioso por volar. No hay silencio en mi cabeza, cuando calla mi mente y el corazón me sobrecoge, el tiempo no nos madura, nos enseña a entender que todos cambiamos pero el pasado no se puede cambiar, he tenido noches muy oscuras esperando con angustia que no tardase mucho el día en llegar, aun así la musica del recuerdo me muestra estrellas que brillan y rompen en la oscuridad, la verdad que os digo que si amáis hay alguien mas que a ti mismo te romperás.
