The Bear Flag (“bears” being gay men with an appreciation
for hirsute partners) is displayed more discretely than the
Rainbow Gay Pride Flag. They are usually
seen tacked to the wall or flown just inside the door at bars, nightclubs,
and conventions which cater to that type of clientele.

Tierced per bend sinister: first quarter azure;
second quarter tierced per bend sinister of argent,
sable and bruin; third quarter vert, over the azure
and argent a footprint dexter in pale or.

The Bear Pride Flag shown above is from Spags, a Seattle bear bar.
The colors of the flag represent the earth and the various bears that live
between the sky and the ground. The golden yellow paw shaped sun represents
the spirit and brotherhood of bears all over the world. The blue stripe
represents the sky; white for polar bears; black for black bears; brown for
brown bears; and green for Earth.

Not as popular as the International Bear
Brotherhood Flag.
