Sterling Heights, MI – In a heartfelt celebration of Pride Month, the Sterling Heights Public Library is delighted to announce that the beloved "Two Bears" sculpture, prominently displayed near its entrance, has a beautiful story of love and acceptance behind it. The sculpture, created by American artist Marshall Maynard Fredericks in 1964, features two adult male bears: Bob the Bear and Tiny Bear. According to Fredericks, these bears have always been a gay couple, symbolizing companionship and unity. As June is LGBTQ+ Pride Month, the library is proudly embracing and sharing the true story of Bob and Tiny, officially recognizing the Sterling Heights Bears as a gay couple. This announcement is a tribute to the spirit of inclusivity and love, inviting all residents and visitors to celebrate the diversity that strengthens our community. Come “paws” and appreciate this touching representation of love and unity, along with the many other pieces of public art throughout the City.
