Does your family know you're furry?

[StickyTheDragon]

Of coarse there are weird furries! Furries are people, and people are weird. DUH! :P

Fursuit bowling?

Call it Mascot Bowling.  Bowling in a Mascot costume.  That'll take the sex out of their football. :P

[Zen]

I think I've created a monster.  :P

My wife had no idea about furry, at all, so I showed her some pictures from one of the bowling nights to explain a little.  My wife then came with me to Howl, and the five of us all came bowling the next day.  (The five of us being myself, my wife, and our three kids.)  My seven year old daughter spent half of bowling making me walk back to the suiters to make more "furry friends" by hugging them.  Now my wife is starting to look at trying to rent a fur suit via mascot stores!

My family knew I was into the whole draconic belief thing back when I was a hardcore otherkin (like, 8 years ago).  This year, I made it no secret that I went to Anthrocon and had a total blast there, so yeah, all my family, my friends, AND my co-workers know I'm into the whole furry community thing.

I make myself out to be a respectable-enough guy that it doesn't make anyone think differently of me.  That's the important part, I think.  If you're already a strange-duck and people find out you're into furries, well... you're pretty much done.

My family knows. They dont care.

Of course I dont care if they do. Most of them found out because they snooped or looking in stuff that had nothing to do with them.

[Kanan]

A couple of my family members know, none of them have a problem with it since I have fun. If I told some of the others  I think they wouldn't like it and probably yell at me until they find a new reason to yell at me.

Ironic that this thread should be revived right now. Yesterday my mom was secretly reading over my shoulder while I was on here.
She was all like, "What does that say? 'BC Furries'?" Then I was all like, "Yep." Then there was silence. :P
I don't think she remembers the previous time I tried explaining it to her

I don't know what they would think of me if I ever brought the topic up again. It was such an embarrassment the first, I've been very secretive ever since.  :-X

They already know I'm a little bit nuts because according to my doctor I really am.  :P

[Zythren]

Nope. And that's the way I like it.

sounds like my mother she was snooping thru my stuff and I just got tired of her poking into my life so I just told her.

wow, that turned out pretty well then, lol.  Good thing she didnt get any preconceptions from CSI or 1000 ways to die before hand!
