I could've done without NeonBunny's quote that, ""'There are now plenty of straight people in the furry fandom, and everyone loves and accepts them for who they are,' said NeonBunny." As someone who's been in furry fandom since the 1980s, I can say as "I was there" that furry fandom was predominantly straight for at least a decade before all the "non-straights" poured in. The main difference between furry culture and general culture "back then" was that furry fans were, if not enthusiastically welcoming to gays, lesbians, and bi's, at least more "so who really cares?" than the average mundane.
