While the LGBT community has long had to struggle with stereotyping by outsiders, gay men also have to deal with widely held perceptions from their peers that they’re supposed to fit a certain image — men who are stylish, carefully groomed, trim and to a certain degree effeminate. But not all gay men fit this profile, and this has led in part to the rise of “Bears” — gay men who are stocky, hirsute, outwardly masculine and proud of it.

As gay culture has moved closer to the mainstream, Bears have come out of the closet (or the woods) and become one of the more visible and active subcultures within the LGBT community. Filmmaker Malcolm Ingram (Small Town Gay Bar, Drawing Flies), a self-identified Bear, offers a look at the lives of big guys who love other big guys in the documentary!Bear Nation, which includes interviews with musician Bob Mould (Husker Du, Sugar) and filmmaker Kevin Smith (the latter has become a Bear icon despite being married and straight).

Kathleen Turner stars in this timely family comedy as a meddling matriarch determined to rein her husband and two grown children into her image of what the “perfect family” should be. When her philandering son and lesbian daughter choose to march to the beat of their own drum, the fur begins to fly. Also starring Emily Deschanel, Jason Ritter, Richard Chamberlain, and Elizabeth Peña, THE PERFECT FAMILY was written by Claire V. Riley and Paula Goldberg, and directed by Anne Renton.

All-star cast featuring: 2 time GOLDEN GLOBE AWARD WINNER KATHLEEN TURNER (Serial Mom, Body Heat, Romancing the Stone), EMILY DESCHANEL (TV’s Bones, Glory Road, Cold Mountain), JASON RITTER (TV’s The Event, Parenthood), ELIZABETH PEÑA (Jacob’s Ladder, La Bamba), RICHARD CHAMBERLAIN (TV’s Shogun, The Towering Inferno)
