I was making a wordplay joke using the “older” meaning for queer where it meant “strange” rather than what it’s come to mean today. Not necessarily putting furries under the queer umbrella.
That said if I didn’t literally know a cis straight furry I’d think they didn’t actually exist because every one of the like dozen others that I know is gay or trans.
Ooh i see, makes sense
I think it’s either due to both communities being more open minded and so prone to try new stuff which leads to many to discover their sexuality/furry interests or the fact that both are very marginalized and so it became pratically a bonding thing that lead culture in-breeding
I’m sure in addition it probably helps that there’s probably a fairly large group of people that come into the furry community specifically _ to _ explore their gender or sexuality right? I imagine all of that has a lot to do with why there seems to be so much overlap yeah.
