Some say second time's the charm, and Yannick proved it. After running last year, the 27-year-old came back and won the crown at Bearback Mountain, the official party of Bear Pride Luxembourg 2025 (Cowboy Edition) 🤠. The votes were cast in person, one coin per guest.
Yannick has been an active member of the bear community for almost 10 years, ever since coming out and finding open arms here. Since last year's run, Yannick has started working for a trade union and sits on several committees, standing up for the LGBTQIA+ community every day. 🏳️🌈
Away from work, you'll find Yannick drawing, gaming (when there's time 🎮), out in nature (that's where the tattoos come from 🍃), or with friends. And as Olaf would say: Yannick loves warm hugs. 😉
So what's the plan for the year? To give back to the community that welcomed Yannick, build stronger links with bear communities abroad, create new events everyone can enjoy, and "fully embrace life as Bears together."
Angel Gonzalez carried the Mr. Bear Luxembourg title through 2025, a year he spent bringing the community together.
During his year, Angel co-hosted the Bear Afterwork at Beim Lentz with Yannick, Mr. Bear Luxembourg 2026. He also hosted the Bear Dukes Luxembourg at Luxembourg Pride 2025 and represented the community at international bear events such as Amsterdam Bear Pride.
His year ended at the Bearback Mountain Party at Melusina on 11 October 2025, where the next Mr. Bear Luxembourg was elected.
Steve was elected Mr. Bear Luxembourg at the 2022 Bear Pride. A passionate bear at heart, he loves nature, plants, and meeting new people — and when he's not out and about, you'll likely find him behind a camera, pursuing his passion for photography.
Thibault used his title as a platform, founding Bear Dukes Luxembourg a.s.b.l. itself, launching the Woof men-only party, and building out.lu, an LGBT+ events agenda for the Greater Region. He also served a year and a half with the title, so the election date could be realigned with other bear events across Europe.
