I do agree. On the art side it is much more balanced with regard to gender as well as orientation.
The Pittsburgh studies (ref below) does shows the overall distribution puts about 1/2 of the fandom on the heterosexual side of hetero to bi, and 1/2 on the homosexual side of hetero to bi.
Whether sampling from the online fan community or from furry conventions, it seems to be the case that approximately 80-85% of the furry fandom is biologically male"
As should be readily apparent, furries were far less likely to report being exclusively heterosexual than the general population (in which 80% of the population reported exclusive heterosexuality as their sexual orientation).
Additionally, furries reported being 4-5 times more likely to consider themselves exclusively homosexual than in the general population, and were much more likely to report varying degrees of bisexual sexual orientation. Additionally, furries were more than 6 times as likely to report "other" as their sexual orientation than the general population of Americans (15.0% versus 2.4%), with other representing orientations such as "pansexual", "asexual", and a variety of self-identified orientations.
In sum, there is ample evidence to support the claim that, as compared to the general population, there is a much higher prominence of homosexuality within the furry fandom. That said, it would be inaccurate to define the furry fandom as "predominantly homosexual", as the most frequently-cited sexual orientation among furries is still "exclusively heterosexual"
