As a furry I can confirm this to be true, furries are by far one of, if not THE most accepting fanbase/community I've ever seen/been in. And often full of surprises too, you'd never what a furry does for a living unless you ask them some of which have really powerful carrers such as working in IT, engineering, science, teachings, thing like that. Others have some basic jobs and are self employed or use their art to mke money all of which is really amazing to see.
