What is a gay cub

A bear is a person who identifies with bear culture, an LGBTQ subculture. Bears are typically gay or bisexual men with a large (muscular or overweight) build and body hair. [2] In LGBTQ slang, the term bear is also used as a neutral descriptor for a large and hairy gay man, which can be compared with the term twink. [3][4].

The term cub is a slang term used to describe a young, husky, hairy gay man, similar to a young “bear.” It originated within the gay community and is used to refer to a particular type of gay man who is younger and has a specific physical appearance.
