The International Bear Brotherhood Flag, also known as the bear flag, is a pride flag designed to represent the bear subculture within the LGBTQIA & community. The colours of the flag — dark brown, orange / rust, golden yellow, tan, white, grey, and black — are meant to include the colours of the furs of animal bears throughout the world. The flag was designed with inclusion in mind.
The Bear Culture celebrates secondary sex characteristics such as growth of body and facial hair, similar to bears.
