Does your family know you're furry?

[Foxxphyre]

LOL my mom ripped into me a bit when I first showed up at home- transit and ferry from Vic  ;D - in ears and a tail (You're NOT a fox!  You're a human being!)  But shes come around more or less.  Im pretty open about everything anyhow, I don't see the point in hiding things.

I find your bravery in furry attire very admirable.

I don't think so, though they might suspect something's up, who knows, they don't pry into it too much anyways and I don't really intend to tell them, it's not particularily nessesary that my parents know about sexual kinks imho. Probably helps that fursuiting dosen't interest me tons and I don't have a fursona so much as a main character that I play.

Thanks  :-3  It means alot.  I'm fortunate that I've had excellent influences in my life that have encouraged me to be myself and live an uncompromising life (as much as possible!).  I've had lots of encouragement from friends and community (even my job at the time!) and it helps that the responses have been almost totally positive- the very first night I wore it out to the bar I literally had girls chasing me around the dance floor- never, ever, been hit on that much before.

The funny thing is, the most nerve-wracking part is just before I step out in public... after that... I just get a big grin on my face and go have fun.

Some of my family knows now, some don't. I try to wear my jewelled collar everywhere i go, and have "fur life" and "furry" graphics on my truck, so when family asks I tell 'em, otherwise i don't offer information that doesn't concern them.

It came up in conversation on the phone with my mom a few weeks ago. I think we were talking about one of Gizmo's parties, :p

And as I figured. She didn't really care. I love my mom, lol

[Renwaldo]

I told my mom Gizmo and his cohorts were a bunch of innocent gamer-nerd virgins. She bought it of course.

My mother would never approve if she found out I went drinking in North Surrey with a bunch of older gay men. DX
I wouldn't even need to bother with the term 'furry.'

Pfff "gamer-nerd virgin" is probably the biggest lie ever  ;D .  Gamers, maybe.  Nerds, usually.  Virgins? almost never... the internet has made them freaky... and given them connections.

[Renwaldo]

I know right?

Gizmo is such a pimp, he corrupted little old me with his tasty wine and dragged me off to his bed. Oh if only mother dear knew! Why the shit would hit the fan in explosive diarrhoea, she'd cut me from the inheritance and revoke all my rights as a human being.  :-X

Anyways, I never tell my parents anything. Especially that I'm a furfag.

[JestersKing]

...and dragged me off to his bed...

..wait.. what?

You dirty boy, you. :b

[Renwaldo]

..wait.. what?

Nah, he was actually a real gentleman. He needed somewhere to hide me in my drunken state so I wouldn't hurt myself, so I got tossed in his room. XP

That turned out to be far less exciting than it could have been :(

Oh boy, no kidding.  :-X

I think I've tried giving my mom subtle hints about me being furry, but she doesn't really understand.. plus, my mom doesn't know what a furry is... neither does my step-dad know, but I don't really give a flying ^&#$ about what he thinks.. and I haven't seen my actual father in so long.. though I think he might be a little more understanding about it.. heck, even probably join the furry fandom if he was still around.. but alas, he is sadly still amongst the unknown in this world and I have yet to be aware of his current whereabouts at this time..

I don't think my mum really cares, and she's so accepting of everything else - she knows I'm gay, and she's down with it, likes the girls I date, etc. I showed her my in-progress head today, and explained how I made it. She was super interested, spent a good deal of time laughing at me wandering around in a multicoloured foam mask, and told me I'm extremely creative and that she was proud of me.

So, I think she gets that *something* is going on, but I've always been into animal costumes, so this is nothing new for her. Putting a name on it wouldn't make a difference.
