The Capital Bears had great volunteering on a Habitat for Humanity home build. Our construction manager, Colton, was a great help and very patient with us all. #capitalbears #dsmbears #lgbtq #capitalbearsgiveback

A fun Bear Happy Hour tonight. A little slow due to a bunch of snow but still a nice turnout. Thanks to #prioryofwilderosesisters for selling Jell-O shots for us and all who braved the weather. #dsmbears #capitalbears

Many members of the Capital Bears, our Iowa Bear and a thousand people gathered in front of the Iowa State Capitol building to stand up for our rights in Iowa. Anti LGBTQIA+ legislation has no place in our world. Life, liberty and justice for ALL! #capitalbears #dsmbears #lgbtq
