Straight here as well. I will have to agree with WingedZephyr on this one. Of all I have talked with(I will admit that the number is not huge) it seems like it was a 50/50 split between gay and straight, you just don't notice those who are straight as often.

i will say... in every single furry survey that i've ever seen the results for (one organisation does one every summer), the sexuality graph shows that bisexuals rule the roost by an overwhelming majority. gays come a distant second, and straights are in a minority... i think with the pan and asexuals. and i think the only reason there aren't any more pansexuals in this world is because barely anyone knows what it means.

not that i'm defending surveys in general cause they're a pretty rubbish representation of the reality of our world, but unfortunately they're the best we have asside from our own sights and sounds

Imma straight male fur, that makes... 3 of us so far? Here is a survey, its a few years old though, that I found on wikipedia. The numbers are probably different by now, but it gives a pretty good understanding of the majority of sexual oriantations of furries.

 "According to a study, 19–25% of the fandom members report homosexuality, 37–48% bisexuality, 30–51% heterosexual, and 3–8% other forms of alternative sexual relationships. In 2002 about 2% stated an interest in zoophilia, and less than 1% an interest in plushophilia."

Since this is a place free of judgement, most homosexual furries would be able to be open about it where as straight furries dont feel the need to. Thusly we mostly only here the homosexual voice on things. atleast, thats what makes sence to me anyway.  :/

yeah, so far on this forum, I've meet a lot of gay furs but it's cool as I guess gays are oftenly more open-minded than others. XD

And it honestly isn't that much of a big deal. As long as I think you're a cool person, I don't care what your sexual orientation is.

I think also, the fandom does broaden alot of aspects for people, like seeing how open it is, It can encourage members to try new things and thus change their orientation. It also may serve as a refuge from those who are repressed in real life from their sexual preference.


I hope you will remember me, At least say so to comfort me, You say goodbye so easily, Its now or never, It may seem really pitiful, But life became too beautiful, The pain of love unbearable, It's now or never, Gone Forever.

To be honest, I remember back in the day when furry was just starting to become well known, back then it was mostly gay and I had a field day but now it actually seems as if everyone's straight.  Way more females then there used to be as well.

I'm gay, and I'd like to go to whatever con you went to.  ;D
It's cool, just ignore what you see above this signature.  I didn't just spend time constructing a valid argument for you to consider (at least, that's what you can tell yourself).

 Same here, so long as people are cool and easy to talk to, and most are here, then I dont much care what they are. People's personal lives are their own.   B)

I know we've talked via messenger since the meet, but I still feel obligated to post.

I was at the meet, I'm comfortably straight, and I thought it was a bit too forward of you to ask everyone's sexual orientation.  It was within a half hour of meeting everyone, I try not to slap too many labels onto new acquaintances unless they're putting those labels out there openly.

Also, my friends and I were in the middle of playing Fluxx when you asked, and I decided to say something witty and steal your thunder.  I'm sure some people in the group were attracted to you, they just weren't going to lavish you with attention when conversation/meals were to be had.  Just as there's that split between straight and gay/bi male furs, there's a split between female furs as well: loud and "everyone needs to know I'm furry and have boobs" vs. quiet and reserved.  I usually prefer the latter.

Personally, I usually don't pay attention to people's orientation unless they tell me what it is. I try to assume that, just because they are furry, doesn't automatically gay/bisexual. I do know many furs and yes, most are either bisexual or gay (Myself included). But it doesn't change my perception that, just because someone's a part of this affinity, doesn't automatically make them bi or gay.

But that's just my opinion :P.

Outside on a winter's night as the rain begins to fall
There's a chill in the air and the howl of a wolf while the rain beats at the door
Seven kings will ride on the wind up towards        the mountains high                             
And the only sound that will break the air is the warrior's bitter cry

For those who know me I'm still kicking around here, enjoying life. For those who don't know me I do invite you to get to know me if you'd like :3.
