The New York Times' Lens blog has posted a series of photographs of gay bears (as in gay dudes who identify as bears, not actual homosexual Ursidae) snapped by 30-year-old Alan Charlesworth. They're decent shots of dudes that are hairier and rounder than your average dude. They represent a visual alternative to the pretty-boy, gym-bunny stereotype — you know, just as bears are meant to be.
