Quite honestly, the BEAR-ly Brothers’ initial draw to Cupid’s Undie Run was seeing a promo and just thinking it looked like a fun event that was right up our alley! None of us were familiar with Neurofibromatosis (NF) or the Children’s Tumor Foundation (CTF), we just decided that running around town in our skivvies for a great cause sounded like a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Give us the dish on what brought the BEAR-ly Brothers together. Most of all, it’s just being unashamed of who you are, what you do, and why you do it. ![]() It’s also a dozen burly gay men showing up for Cupid’s Undie Run in neon wigs and crop-tops as Nashville bachelorettes one year, then donning leather harnesses and fur hats to form a team of sled dogs the next. Pride is raising money for a great cause in a pretty uniquely gay way at our annual “Cupid On Stage” drag show.

The easy, very generic answer is that Pride is being able to live life as your authentic, undisguised self without fear or concern for harassment or reprisals.

Say hello to Jeremy Dykes, a Cupid’s Undie Runner and Nashville BEAR-ly Brothers team member. ![]()
