Yeah, they pointed that out in the lj entry a few times.

BUT STILL. Does it have to be that gay?

I think it's actually talking about gay rights.

Alas furries ruin gay as well and give it a bad name.

First of all, we can expect Bush to renew his push for an amendment to the US constitution that would permanently ban any recognition of same-sex marriage in any state. Which, by the way, would be the first time the US constitution would ever be amended to take rights AWAY from a specific class of Americans.

They have KETCHUP chips!

You want Ketchup chips right?

Somebody never heard of the 18th. Of course it was repealed but it still holds that title.

Would Ghandi like being associated with furrydomb? :shock:

I wonder if anybody's ever tried to wear a fursuit in a gay pride parade?

Mmmmmyep.
A gay friend of mine goes to these things all the time and once told me there was someone in a tiger costume wearing a feather boa and corset.

They've had their own float in the parade for years. If only someone less lazy than myself could dig up that old topic about it...

Really?

Calm down brah

And thus, the cycle of life begins anew. Commence yelling at/ignoring.

As far as the issues of pride parades and fursuiters go, the whole thing is a lost cause from the get go. I once tried to convince members of an LGBT group to become vocal against all the BS with pride parades, I got something along the lines of "historically, pride parades did alot to increase the visibility of the gay community." But come on what self respecting gay/lesbian/bisexual really wants to be represented by a bunch of crossdressers, leathermen, and other assorted fetishists. The same members of said lgbt group were not even swayed as to at least speaking out against including the furry freak show when the depravity of the larger "furry" community was made known to them.

It all cracks me up because as some have said in this thread already why add more crap (ie fursuiters) to the pile(drag queens etc). It's no wonder so many normal gay people stay at least semi closeted.

Fuck, just when i'd forgotten that that picture existed. Oh well, i lol'd at the tear again. But on the subject of the parades, i'm not gay, but if i was i think i would be against them. Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't a decent amount of the parades (at least in SF) pretty much entirely designed to shock and offend the prudes? Every year theres a big fuss about the cross dressing nuns, the leather fetishests that whip there package out at every request, public lewd displays of sex. I don't think theres anything wrong with a parade but a lot of this shit doesn't seem to be reaching out to the ignorant as it were.

Once agian, what does 2 have to say on the subject???

If you're going to act like an idiot, prepare to be treated like one.

Queers have as much right to be assholes as anybody else. And considering how many "reg'lar folks" invoke that right on a daily basis, they've got some catching up to do. Sometimes parades are good parties, sometimes they're het-bashings. C'est la vie.

I felt like a chick with a huge rack walking by a construction site and like the construction workers catcalls

guys and gals who've turned their backs on mainstream society and send out a big Fuck You, I'm Queer message

Seems like there are two strong camps in the gay world, the assimilationists(let's try to be as normal as possible so we can broaden the circle of what's acceptable) and the seperatists(we're already on the outside so who cares how outrageous we get, we'll never be accepted anyway). There is a third camp and the largest by far IMO, which is as you put it are just hanging around drinking a beer and chilling out.

And thus, we have a connection to Furries.

As much as I don't want to further tie the whole gay thing to the furry thing. There are quite a few men who have sex with men who will not refer to themselves as gay or bisexual, not in the traditional "in the closet sense" because they are out there enough to get laid, but arent part of the larger gay scene.

As evidenced here, there are also a number of people who like what's commonly refered to as "furry" art and even "yiffy" art but would never dream of associating themselves with the furry scene.

Granted the whole thing doesn't sync up because comparing a fetish to a sexual orientation is the old "apples to oranges" thing.

But i got nothing against the parades. I was skating in sf once and we went ot go get food and ended up on the sidelines of the parade. I hate to admit it but i really wanted to beat the shit out of some of these guys(i'm sad to admit I was EXTREMELY homophobic in highschool, mainly by association). I'm sure it was a few bad apples but the way we were treated was basically "WE'RE GAY!! IN YOUR FACE! I dare you to violate my rights or hit me cuz your mind is so blown away cuz you can't comprehend the GAY!" Thy knew we were all strait but this group, they were relentless in harassing and making lewd comments. I felt like a chick with a huge rack walking by a construction site and like the construction workers catcalls, doing that shit at a pride parade isn't winning anybody over.

I've got nothing against the parades either, but they're sending a mixed message. Gays have to decide if they want equal rights because they're just as normal as everyone else or if they want to be seen as a bunch of freaks humping light poles. Pick one. Can't have it both ways.

A lot of people aren't going to like this, but I've come to the conclusion that a large percentage of 'gays' in furry fandom aren't really gay in the sense that it's been genetically coded in their DNA, but they're jailhouse gay because they have no other options.

Let's face it, there are a lot of people who come to furry fandom who couldn't get laid RL in a whorehouse with a Visa Platinum. These people are fanatical about the idea of sex. That's all they think about. That's all they dream about. They've turned the whole concept into a holy mission and the entire purpose of their lives.

Then they get to the fandom and 99% of everyone they see is a guy. Even most of the girls are really guys in disguise, at least on the MUCKs. So they adapt, they go gay or bi-sexual online. It's between that and being virgins. When they start meeting these people RL, they're so buried in the 'lifestyle' that it isn't much of a leap to jump from online gay sex to real life gay sex. In the end, it's just a bunch of pathetic losers screwing each other, but isn't that what furry fandom has turned into?

Same goes for furries. This whole 'fursecuted' crap is ridiculous. If you don't want to be 'fursecuted' don't act like an asshole. It's the logical things that seem so hard for these people.

Gays would have full domestic rights by now if they wouldn't insist on using the term "marriage".

It's like saying Muslims or Christians have to decide whether they're modern, tolerant citizens of society who practice their religion in the privacy of their homes and religious institutions as is their civic right -- or if they're misogynist homophobes who want the world to be emptied of anyone who isn't exactly like them.

I have no idea what we're talking about now, so I'll just throw some random shit out:

Furries like teh buttsecks because of two reasons: they're either gay/bi or they can't get laid by a woman. I think I figured out the reason for fursuits as well; they're so you don't have to see the face of the fugly fatass you're fucking.

I have no problems with gays, same as I have no problems with lesbians.

Lesbians...

Ahem. Anyway, I think part of the reason gays are villified is because some of them thrust their gayness into people's faces. I mean, I don't go around wearing a T-shirt that says "STRAIGHT PRIDE". You don't see "Straight Pride" priades with men fucking women on floats, do you?

Ha! That reminds me of a friend who'd gone to a Fur Con wearing a small button that read, "Straight". Some faggolicious boi toy bounded up to him, stared at the button as if attempting to process the very idea that someone he thought was cute WASN'T interested in fucking him, gave him a dirty look, and said, "I FIND THAT OFFENSIVE!"

Seriously, wtf? If that's not a perfect example of (a) furries ruining everyting, and (b) out-of-control in-your-face faggotry, I don't know what is. Meh.

I'm not sure I buy into the whole jailhouse gay thing. I'm sure some are jailhouse gay, but I think that a good portion are true blue homosexuals. From what I can glean based on pics I've seen, the typical furry is so ugly they'd get booted from most gay bars, made fun of horribly or at best ignored completely. Ugly as they are they'd have a better chance with ugly chicks. But this nastyness is probably why they only can get laid within the fandom.

...this kind of thing happens online all the time...

Furries can be cool?

Meh, I dunno - there are the nonfurs that go to furry cons.. Animal Control for example lol... so, I don't know really why they go to cons if they're not furries and all that shit.

I think that picture is very well done. I love the colors. I kinda wish this artist would put his time into creating some works of art that were actually a little more socially acceptable. The furry thing is well, it's furry. Kinda lame. But damn, So many talented artists. I feel as though they're all wasting a talent.

All in all, it's all a big fucked up view... I really don't know why some of these people go to furry cons other than to just get drunk. Heh.

I kind of thought about going once just to see how insane it is. Then I realized I wouldn't go alone (or without some kind of cudgel), and I would NOT take any of my friends, because I think they suffer enough. If I ever meet someone who does want to go though, I'm still bringing the cudgel. Though, I guess I kind of have a car-crash syndrome, where I go out of my way to see how bad something is.

REALLY FUCKING GAY.

I couldn't see the homosexuality through ALL THE GODDAMN GAY. WAY TO MAKE HOMOSEXUALS LOOK GAY, FURRIES.
