October 10-12, join the Buffalo Bears and hundreds of “bears”(gay men who are proudly masculine and lot less on the Will & Grace side) from around the US and Canada for a weekend-long celebration at Buffalo Bear Trap 4. In 2005, the Buffalo Bears decided to organize the annual Buffalo Bear Trap to bring bears together in Buffalo to celebrate and throw one of the biggest parties of the year. This year’s event promises to be better than ever.
