So, I put this out there in the general public because I am a big gay rights person and believe no one should be discriminated upon because of his or her race, creed, group affiliation, sexuality, gender or religion. (Or lack there of)

What is a furry, Jenn? You ask. A furry is an anthropomorphic animal with human characteristics. These animals are intelligent, have facial expressions and have the ability to speak and walk in an upright position. We enjoy the arts such as crafts, music and live theater. Isn't that what most high brow aristocrats do with their pinky finger raised as they drink a 'spot of tea?' Now tell me, that sounds like a normal person right? We enjoy things that most people enjoy; we just like it with a bit more fur. This article by BBC Who are the furries? seems to sum it up pretty nicely. (and won an award for doing so!!!)

But let me ask you this: Should someone be let go from his or her place of employment for being a furry? Now before you tell me "I've seen that CSI episode" I have something to let you know about that episode: THAT's NOT how we act at ALL. That is a misconception that the media likes to portray us as some sex crazed orgy-having foxes. This has led to a mistrust of the media and why conventions like Rainfurrest and Anthrocon have banned the media in their convention.

My point is, if you fire someone for loving a hobby that is different from what you believe in, maybe you should ask the person more about the said hobby and not assume things such as we’re all just sex crazed gussied up foxes looking for a hole to go yiff in.
