There are a number of flags representing the Bear community. The International Bear Brotherhood Flag was designed to represent the Brotherhood of Bears which is composed of Gay men, typically marked with an abundance of hair on their face, chest, and body.
The International Bear flag was designed by Craig Byrnes in 1995, though there is much debate about Mr. Byrnes’ claim as the creator and copyright holder. The colors represent the fur colors and nationalities of bears throughout the world and the flag was designed with inclusivity in mind.
