ORIGINAL: EmeraldSlave2 Associating as an animal is something that occurs in a lot of sub-cultures, especially the gay male culture. Usually it's a strong/wild pack-type, wolves, bears, lions, horses, etc. Bears actually, and especially Grizzlies and Polar Bears tend to be loners (as am I) and not pack animals (Grizzlies do gather for the salmon run). I know you didn't say it, but not all Bear people are hairy gay males. Some like me identify with Bears for shamanic or totemic reasons which is my case. My name was given to me by my Lakota Blood brother and his family for private reasons. (I'm also like a Grizzly male just out of hibernation and hungry and pissed off with the world when I arise in the morning and before my three cups of coffee).
