You're correct and shouldn't be downvoted for it. Diversity in general is pretty wide in the fandom. We have a much higher percentage of LGBTQ+ people here, because we do accept those people.

Furries on the whole are accepting and welcoming. For people who have faced discrimination in one form or another, the fandom is a place where one can belong and simply be who they are.
