     The fact that Brooklyn is full of both bearded Jews and bearded hipsters can be confusing, leading to a rise in websites like Hasid or Hipster. Throw in the gay phenomenon known as bears (barrel-chested, oft-bearded, hairy, checkered-shirt-wearers), which now come in traditional and gipster (gay hipster) varieties, and things get even more hard to sort out.

     It could be any dude, as long as you really want to fuck him. It could be a... a twink, a bear, an otter, a circuit queen, a chub, a pup, a gipster, a daddy chaser, a leatherman, a ladyboy, a Donald Duck. Donald Duck's a gay guy who's been kicked out of the Navy.
