I don't know what to do about this other than point out, from time to time, the Bear Tartan is LGBT related.

I understand the LGBT related Bear community is associated with gentlemen "large and hairsuit"... Um, don't worry about it...

* It looks like MacMillan of Rathdown was who brought it up first in this thread, just for the record.
It really isn't the subject of the thread, and I'm sorry for having made an issue of it.
This is so far off the thread topic as to be indictable, but last Sunday I caught quite a funny sequence on The Cleveland Show (Fox) which involved a real (cartoon) bear mistakenly visiting some sort of bear bar in NYC...?
