That's an interesting and plausible theory.
But, just to get it right, you're saying, that in this case, the subject gets involved in the furry community, because it seeks a place to be it's LGTB-self, rather than for the core aspect. You don't think there are alternatives, on the internet, for a LGTB-person, that don't involve animals walking upright?
What also concerns me, is that you're suggesting that there's a repancy between the numbers of LGTB'ers and their place-of-origin, being that, in the furry community, the numbers of LGTB'ers are higher in countries where it is considered "wrong" to be LGTB, because these people would be seeking "refuge" in the community.
I'm not saying it's implausible, but in my (limited) personal experience, I've actually seen staggeringly higher numbers of straight, non-trans furries from countries where being LGTB is a "problem", possibly because these people are imprinted by their envirement, in believing that being LGTB is a problem, and are thus less likely to admit being it, or admit to being it.
