About BOB

What is a Bear? More specifically what is a Bear Of Binghamton? Chances are, if you are viewing this page you are.  The definition of a “Bear” is a tough one to pin down, most people will argue that being a bear is a state of mind or that it is specific physical qualities that differ from “typical” homosexual males. A Bear might be hairier, or bigger, or more "masculine". A bear might have a beard or facial hair or none at all. Different physical characteristics can classify a person within the bear community as a cub, a bear, a grizzly bear, leather bear,  polar bear, muscle bear, daddy bear, panda bear, pocket bear, wolf, cub, otter… the list of potential classifications of “Bear” could go on for pages but we at Bears Of Binghamton like to believe that if you are looking to have a good time and socialize with open minded people while also contributing to community organizations and gay friendly businesses, Bears Of Binghamton is the place to be. There is something for everyone at a Bears Of Binghamton event and over the last two years we have found that this particular organization has had a unifying effect amongst the gay community of New York State and surrounding areas. That is the ultimate goal of the Bears Of Binghamton, to bring people together and to have a good time.
