    Pride in Montréal was something Else (2023)

    Montréal Summer 2023, the world is changing, the world is changing. Montréal’s Pride’s party vibe is returning to what it was before the 80’s : a non-stop party full of Americans!

    Bears, Americans & Party

    So, this year, a first, I had friends from New York coming. We went shopping to the Bear Buffet : a party from the Group called Bear-It in collab with Armada Montréal: a party full of bears where geeks become complete sl*ts for a night.

    Boy, those topless bears were sweaty and ready. Imagine a nerdy guy kissing one, and then another one, meanwhile getting his belly rubbed by his daddy. This is not reality!

    Hunter mode activated

    Big guys don’t really how much they are chased….until they become slim.

    Indeed, in this world, when you are slim and fit, you are suppose to do the work! Nevertheless, my hunter mode is easily activated.

    What is Hunter Mode? It is in the eye. You walk to the buffet and fix on your food until it comes to you. Usually, the food first acts like they don’t care. But then you let out a slight hand wave by licking your lower lip, and then the food says, « Come, eat me, » with their smile.

    Américan Montréal

    We use to be poor, to live in the shadows of what Canadians thought of us. It has clearly changed since Americans discovered Montréal’s party scene.

    And they were ready to party as much as we were ready to welcome them.

    I wished they were more « cultured » though on Québec. Québécois are rooted to Montréal and Americans are so easy-come-easy-go makes it a vision with no future…while they could be such a bright future for Québec-Usa. We have the culture and they have the money.

    Kissing my first American Flirt 15 years later.

    Rewind to when as a young 21 years old, I went to New York with a dream of kissing a fat American bearded man… a dream came true, an American dream. Flashback at RockBar NYC, and there he was: your typical American guy from Connecticut sitting and agreeing to kiss my lips after a lot of me shyly going to him for a talk. 15 years later, I am on St-Catherine Street on Sunday (when all the cool people in Montréal go out) to see where it is at. I am near the store PRIAPPE in the Village right by the Eagle, as we are about to head to Dj Bugo Darling Olympic Stadium Dance Dj Set smoking a big joint.

    So I lurk on the app « Growlr » and there is a face I feel I know. Looks who is there : the first American bear I kissed in NYC!

    After a moment, I ask him about it. We kind of recognize each other. He then tells me he is sitting in the bar right beside where I am. Public transportation in Montréal is horrible because of overpaid bad workers …not working. So I ditched my friends waiting in line and went to meet him.

    I love American Bears

    I go in the overcrowded bar. There he is : big american chunky guy and with a black beard. There is one stool left at the bar, and it is next to him with a full beer in front of it.

    I love Americans 🐻

    We kiss
