Hi there! My name is Apollo, and I am the same Apollo thay appears in this article! I've been doing some thinking, and I might do a Q&A on Twitch to answer questions anyone might have! It's been really crazy to see the support from everyone! 💙

Let's make one thing abundantly clear here. Only around 20% of this fandom claims to be straight, which includes trans people who may be straight. At least 25% of this fandom is transgender (using it as a blanket term for non-cis). If my math is correct here... (1/??)

There is no room in the furry community for homophobia, transphobia, racism, misogyny, bigotry, or any other forms of discrimination against marginalized groups. My point continues to be; hate is not welcome in this community. 'Ignoring the dude' doesn't confront the problem.
