This week, we sit down with acclaimed gay historian, writer, and editor Les K. Wright to explore the history of bear communities, the evolution of gay identity and culture, and the spaces where plus-size queer men have found belonging. We talk about what early bear communities offered that existing gay spaces didn’t, the changing landscape of San Francisco’s gay scene, the importance of documenting queer lives and histories, and why preserving the stories of previous generations matters.Who are we? We’re James and Tim; two gainers exploring gaining, feedism, plus-size life, and everything plus-size. New episodes drop every Tuesday, so make sure to subscribe.
