Autumn’s finally here in Bath. It’s been a tough few months, but I’m constantly amazed by the kindness of the people around me and grateful for their support. #GayBear #GayBeard #BearLife

Love this man! He is my everything

With you. Every time we get a new car within 12 months, someone writes it off. At this rate we’ll be driving a hair dryer in less than 6 months!

Evening… #SitgesBearWeek #GayBear #GayBeard

A smiling bald man with a beard stands in a narrow pedestrian street. He’s wearing a white t-shirt featuring a blue cartoon bear, light blue shorts, and has a black crossbody bag. The cobblestone street is lined with traditional buildings featuring balconies and shopfronts, with warm lighting from the shops creating a pleasant evening atmosphere. Other pedestrians can be seen walking in the background

Back in beautiful Sitges! Really looking forward to taking a break. #SitgesBearWeek #BearsOfBlueSky #GayBear #GayBeard

Section 28-style guidance in schools. From Labour. Nothing this morally bankrupt government does surprises me anymore.

Massive thanks to Nia and Adrián for joining us at Pride this weekend! Having you both there made it even more amazing! 🫶🏻

Brilliant couple of days in Bristol! Pride was incredible - sun shining, amazing atmosphere. Got overwhelming with the heat but totally worth it. Bristol Bear Bar was outstanding - welcoming staff and crowd, perfect end to a long day. #GayBear #BearsOfBlueSky #BearCommunity #BristolPride

Pride Flags on Regent Street

Tomorrow at Pride in London we’ll send a message to the world: in our city you are free to be whoever you want to be, and love whoever you want to love.

We must take a stand against those seeking to roll back hard-won rights.

Backlash after trans books removed from children's library section - BBC News KCC says the move came after a "concerned member of the public" contacted them.

It’s a book. In a library. Reading won’t make you trans, gay or a fucking superhero - but it can help you understand who you are. Books educate. Books connect us. Books offer safe spaces from a hostile world. I’m done with intolerance.

Behind the scenes of post-war drag shows

From Shakespeare's time to RuPaul's Drag Race - the British have been serving looks for centuries! Just discovered this brilliant post from @londonmuseum.bsky.social about 1950s drag performers.

Happy Pride! Pride isn't about rainbows it's an act of resistance through courage and joy.

Harvey was an LGBTQ+ activist, one of the first openly gay elected politicians, and commissioned the Pride flag.

Kitt honours that journey. 🐻

‘Made for sex’: the hedonistic party palaces of New York’s Fire Island – and the blond bombshell who made them It is a ‘queer Xanadu’, a sliver of sand where weekend-long revelling takes place in fabulous modernist beach-houses. As Fire Island gets its mojo back, we celebrate the Speedos-wearing architect who ...

I had no idea that the entire look of Fire Island - those iconic cedar and glass beach houses were designed by one man. Horace Gifford built 63 modernist homes in the 60s that became the template for queer beach culture.

Sometimes it’s the small things that mean everything. Finally caught up with my best mate Nia in person, and she surprised me with this gorgeous maneki-neko from Japan. I’m so lucky to be blessed with such beautiful friends. 💕

Morning, you gorgeous lot!

Out for my morning walk and honestly, had to stop and share this view with you. There's something about mornings like this that makes you appreciate being exactly where you are, isn't

What's your favourite way to start the morning? ☀️

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

I'm Rich from @cubbieandco.shop. Pride is about joy, but more importantly—realising we're not alone.
More important now with trans rights under attack. Please choose queer-owned businesses this Pride.

I did it! Cubbie & Co. is officially live! 🎉

Just discovered from Koby Falks' official Instagram that he passed away earlier this week. He was the quintessential Australian Daddy bear, but far more than that - his sex and body positive message struck a chord with me to always be proud of who you are.

I can't believe he's gone.
