Ron Suresha, pen names Ron Jackson Suresha and Ron Jackson, is an American author and anthologist of books centering on gay and bisexual men's subcultures, particularly the Bear community.

Biography

Suresha was born in Detroit, Michigan. In a book chapter on bears of color, the author stated that he had some Native American ancestry.

Suresha and his husband (styled "husbear"), Rocco Russo, were legally married in Provincetown, Massachusetts, in October 2004, and received a Connecticut civil union one year later. They live in New London, Connecticut.citation |url=http://www.uri.edu/glbt/symposium.shtml |title=Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual & Transgender Center: Backstory & Backlash |periodical=University of Rhode Island |accessdate=2007-10-04]

Suresha's nonfiction anthology, "Bears on Bears: Interviews & Discussions" (2002), includes 25 dialogues with 57 bear-identified men and bear-lovers from around the world, such as comedian Bruce Vilanch, porn model Jack Radcliffe, and "Survivor" star Richard Hatch. In the introduction, Suresha asserts that "Bears on Bears" is "the first interview book ... compiled primarily from online interactions" using Internet chat technology.

With Pete Chvany, Suresha edited the nonfiction book "Bi Men : Coming Out Every Which Way" (2006). Suresha's two bisexual men's anthologies were named finalists in the 2006 Lambda Literary Awards (Lammys) in Bisexual Literature.

In 2008, Suresha edited for "Journal of Bisexuality" a special issue commemorating the sexagennial (60th) anniversary of the publication of "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male", commonly known as the Kinsey Report. Suresha has also edited several men's fiction anthologies.
