The curiously large number of LGTB's in the furry community

[Rocco Rex]

Challenger, you have the BEST account name and photo ever. 100/10 on creativity (and being military themed)

As for me? Born a guy, always will be a guy. Not really attracted to either sex sexually, but only fell in love once and it's with a girl so...IDK which category I should choose

Feel free to PM me about anything. Including if you have more questions about the fandom. I myself am often taking a look demographics and statistics and such (at least, what I can gain from who I meet)

Personally, I never really fell in love with anyone. Even though I had times where I thought someone was really beautiful, but not more than that. Maybe it can grow out of friendship someday, maybe not. I don't know. Doesn't seem to happen to me on first sight, anyways.

I identify as agender. Viewing myself as agender helps me to collect the courage to break through traditional gender expectations, and I don't care about my sex a lot anyways. I mainly use my sex to steer clear from certain problems nowadays.

EDIT (I've noticed that I've forgotten to include a bigger part )
So to continue: With thisn poll it can be very easy to use causation/corrolation which is dangerous. But as with every poll I'm curious to see the outcome of this one. As it is at this point (14/04/2017 00.11 GMT+1) a rather expected answers seems to be topping. If this poll gets enough votes I might start a more specific poll to see more interesting results.

OP, you've done a great job and I'm curious for the outcome.

Please, If you think you can do this poll better then I did, go right ahead!

(I'm genuinly not being sarcastic! People tell me I sound sarcastic sometimes on the internet, but I'm not now.)


I really feel like I have insufficient knowledge about all the types of genders and on how to properly construct polls, and it seems like you, and Ventus get it a lot better than me.

Soo, if you wanna use your moderator powers to enhance this thread, I welcome you to!

I found out I was bisexual 5 years ago before joining the fandom a year later. I was really surprised when I later realized approximately 2/3 of the people in this fandom are either, homo, bi, trans or else.


It's really strange xD

Did you know heterosexuals are still more numerous than homosexuals in the fandom? Actually the largest demographic is Bisexuals, followed by heterosexuals and then homosexuals (making up 18% of the fandom).

As Bisexuals make up about 36% of the fandom that means that 54% of the fandom (AT LEAST) is attracted to the same sex.

I'm a heterosexual cis female.


It does seem the furry fandom has LGBTQ+ members than other fandom :p

[uhh]

I'm a transgender polysexual male.


I think the furry fandom has more LGBTI+ than most others is becuase we're pretty accepting, and fursonas allow a person to define any part of themselves and show themselves in a positive light. That's just my guess though.

Sorry in advance, I don't follow ^^;
You say there are more heterosexuals than homosexuals, but following that you say that 54% of the fandom is homosexual?

So what I read is:
54% homosexual
36% bisexual
10% heterosexual and other(?)

I don't see where the hetrosexuals, who seem to be more numerous, fit into this equation or these percentages.

[Malina]

I'm assuming that what he meant by 54% is attracted to the same sex is bisexuals and homosexuals combined, with 36% being bi, 18% homosexual and 46% other


Have to admit that did surprise me a bit

Bi master race

I used to think i was heterosexual, but I do find that I am attracted to some guys now as well so I am bisexual?
(I am still a teenager so I am not sure, maybe it's a phase?)

If you doubt yourself, you aren't bi.
But if you're straight but you show some interest in males, it could be you're bi-curious.

Spoiler for image:

But yeah let's fight those assholes !!

Also you got the B and the T the wrong way round ;p

[Brisky]

Hmmm...

Noone noticed I accidently wrote "!.". No?

Excellent!

Sexuality, preferences, and gender are all subject to change. Some people are 100% secure, but that is extremely rare, especially if you're a teenager and young adult.
So that's not strange at all.

I've gone from:
Thinking I was asexual (although I doubted this, but I didn't really seem to really be attracted to anyone, whcih seemed to be 'normal' for others) to thinking I was transgender, then heterosexual with curiosity for bisexuality (in that time if I could have hooked up with the same gender, I might be able to say for sure, but I couldn't), then I settled on pansexuality and demisexuality.
And sometimes I experienced a mix of this a few times too, changing it all around. I was certain I was not gay, however.

Anyways, settling on being a demi+pansexual... That's only been in the last... few years, and it's stuck around ever since. So only now I can say for sure, or at least with a lot more certainty than years ago that I am exactly that.
But labels shouldn't matter regardless. You are who you are.

I found out it's not what a person looks like. They can be male, female, or anything in between or none of these (yes, physically this is possible), but I don't care about that.
I care about the person, their behaviour, acts, etc.
Sure, I have preferences. Everyone does (certain body build, hair colour, etc.), it's something natural. But I really couldn't be together with someone who I cannot have an emotional, mental bond with and grow over time.
