I wonder if the quote is out of context because there might be joking irony in it. Anyways, at my site is a super long interview with Neonbunny, that asks how he started the furry dance party, Frolic. It's at a gay bar but attracts lots of straight people and very subculture inspired. Makes sense from that. In 10 years, if the independent furry club thing keeps growing, it might make it's own "I was there then" story.
This quote I could do without half of it. "Rightfully integrated", yuck, how about everyone gets more freaky instead:
"If people would treat furries as hobbyists instead of fetishists in public and the media then the furry fandom could be rightfully integrated as a respectable member of mainstream culture, like trekkies or otakus. At the moment the fandom is a feared, misunderstood freak show in the eyes of the public and I want that to change in my lifetime."
