Come on, people, have a heart. What are you all poking fun at Strike for?

Of course Strike isn't really going to attack a bear. No, he is trying to tell us something. Can't you guys pick up on that? 'Fighting a Grizzly' is common slang for 'daisy' a bear. This is the the issue, what Strike is trying to tell us. It is a battle in his head, between acceptance of what he is, what he feels, and uber macho posing to shield himself from society's unacceptance.

If he finds warmth and acceptance here, he can come out. If not, presenting his doubts in the way he did, means he can hide back behind the safe comfort of his muscles, his macho posturing.

Fight your Grizzly, Strike. We love you whatever you are, man.
