Q: Hi! I am looking to come to Montreal sometime soon and I am looking for an authtentic experience. What I am wondering is, are there people who classify themselves as Gay, Bears, who have a guest room they would like to rent out for the weekend? I'd like to stay with people who are outgoing and love to cook. We could cook up our favorite meals, etc etc, and culture share. Does this seem odd? I've done similar things in Europe and had a great time. When ever I tell this to my American friends they think I'm nuts as everyone here is paranoid, lol.

A: I heard the Los Angeles Zoo has one of them Gay Bears.
