Sticky Rice was started when our co-founders looked around while attending other bear runs and realized they were some of the only Asian men in the room.

Between a mainstream gay spaces that routinely sideline Asian builds and a bear scene that overlooks them, they decided to create what was missing.

Our mission is to provide an unpretentious, down-to-earth space where gay Asian bears and admirers can find their tribe, let their guard down, talk story poolside, and finally feel entirely seen.
