This is what I see every day you got those hardcore religious fanatics and those like me who see things differently. It’s really a good debate and well worth watching. Good points are made on both sides.

Back when Thurston Howl was submitting reviews for my blog he asked me to write an essay for the sequel to his Furries Among Us, (which is a book that contains a series of essays written by various furries). Since I know a lot about “Furry music Videos” after all I have a YouTube playlist with over 321,000 views. I admit I was heavily influenced by him asking for examples of what I thought was good.

So I began to work on an essay, the very first since High School.

During the time I was writing this he told of others he asked to submit essays.

Really looking back at that essay today, it reads more like a grocery list than anything else. I fully admit I should of went with my original plan. But I was so excited that I could be honestly get published I wasn’t thinking straight.

Then we got into this fight, really it was over how I run my blog. Beyond that I am not going to say, except that we both overreacted. What can I say but the truth we blocked each other on Facebook.

Really I don’t hold a grudge, the essay I sent him was crappy at best. Frankly it reads more like a YouTube playlist than anything else. Which I am very well aware does not translate into book form.

Besides there are a few other submissions he told me about also never made it to the book. So I am not the only one.

I plan on making another essay on “Furry Music Videos” and post that around. But written the way I want, and not be influenced by other opinions like the first one had been.

The following is an open letter posted on Texas Furry Fiesta’s site responding to the hate we see seemly everywhere.

Dear Furries,

We are shocked and saddened by the violence and hateful rhetoric centered around recent events in our nation. We condemn this violence and malice in the strongest possible terms.

Today we join a growing chorus that speaks out against racism, intolerance, bigotry, and hatred. These things have no place in our community or at our conventions. We stand together with those who oppose the violent rhetoric growing in our country and our community. Together we are stronger than hate. Together we stand as a light in the darkness of these troubling times.

In times when the world seems to be consumed by hatred, remember that the furry fandom is a community that cares for and embraces each other. We come together to meet and share our lives regardless of color, creed, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, or nationality. We are brought together by a mutual interest, but our community is bound together by our love.

We say this clearly:

There is no place at Furry Fiesta or Furry Siesta for racism, intolerance, bigotry, or hatred.

We will not permit hateful speech, acts, propaganda, or the symbols of those who advocate them at our events. We have always sought to create an environment fostering inclusivity and tolerance. Anyone engaging in harassment or intimidation at our events will be removed. The furry fandom is one of the strongest, most welcoming and accepting communities on Earth. Together we have built something amazing and beautiful. We invite you to join us in continuing to forge a bright future filled with joy, laughter, and love.
