A furry fandom con in Florida just announced it would ban minors based on the governor's ridiculous laws
. “Furry has become synonymous with LGBTQ, since there is such a large intersection of communities,” says Joelle, one of the founders of Moms of Furries, an organization supporting kid furries and their parents. “Furries feel connected to what they see as persecution of the queer community.”
Additionally, many furries identify as transgender, and “would not feel safe” at a convention in Florida, which recently passed a law making it atrespassing offense for someone to use a bathroom that does not align with their birth sex, says Carrie. “Right now anything that isn’t very straight-laced, in Florida, is starting to be called out as deviant,” she says. “Obviously furries are an easy mark for that.
Megaplex’s announcement was met with mixed reactions among members of the community. While some accused the convention of caving to pressure from Florida legislators, most expressed empathy for having to make a difficult decision, and fury at DeSantis for targeting LGBTQ people.
