What is gay chub?

Gay chub is a term used to describe a subculture within the LGBTQ+ community that focuses on individuals who are overweight or obese. These individuals often identify with the bear community, which is a subgroup of the gay community that celebrates larger, hairier men.

Gay chub individuals often embrace their body size and view it as a source of pride and confidence. They may participate in events, gatherings, and online communities that cater specifically to chubs and their admirers.

There is a strong emphasis on body positivity and self-acceptance within the gay chub community. This subculture provides a space for individuals who may not fit traditional beauty standards to feel accepted and valued.
