On one hand, this has got to be public trolling. On the other, it’s still a bill calling for a classification of people to be removed from society. If it weren’t so scary it would be funny.
Fascism demands outlandish “enemies” in order to justify punishment as policy. Usually, no suitable ones exist, so they are created through outlandish fantasy.
This is a weird amount of preoccupation to have with a subculture of mostly queer people who just watched too much Disney and read too much Warrior Cats or Animorphs as kids.
In general furries embrace their cringe and are unashamed of the stuff they enjoy, can’t say I see anything near as wholesome from the company you keep when you’re hand wringing about sexual degenerates that should be banned from schools.
Non-furries love anthropomorphic animal characters. Our culture is full of them; all cultures are. Furries didn’t invent sports mascots, Looney Tunes, the Easter Bunny, Aesop’s fables, or the Egyptian pantheon. Obviously it’s not the appreciation for talking animals that people actually hate. So why is it that, out of all the weird subcultures that exist, the one that gets the most hate thrown at it is the one centered around a love of something universal to all human cultures?
It’s because the founders of the modern furry fandom were gay and poly, and the fandom has always had an overwhelmingly LGBT membership because it used to be the only non-fetish community that openly accepted gay and trans people. All anti-furry hate is either a negative reaction to the fandom’s queerness or a deliberate attempt to attack the LGBT community by proxy.
I’m sorry but the only way I can describe that perspective is “delusional”. First of all, I’m going to point out that by starting your conclusion with “All furry hate”, you’ve already revealed that you’re simply here to make generalizations instead of to be accurate. Nearly no statement that starts with “all”, “none”, “every”, etc. about such a large group (furry haters) is even worth considering.
Now that I’ve gotten that out of the way: No, people don’t hate furries because they’re LGBT. Most people know nothing about the movement or its founders, and don’t care to. People dislike the furry community because:
Fursuits look weird. Mascots and the easter bunny fall into this category too. Non-fursuit anthropomorphic animals (eg. Looney Tunes) are generally well-regarded, even somewhat if they’re from the furry community.
Someone told them about yiff or showed them a vore picture and now they hate all furries.
Their primary interactions with furries lead them into direct contact with “the weird kids” aka assorted cringy 12 year olds. Any community with a significant number of preteens will have this same repulsive effect on older teenagers and young adults, or even other preteens. See also: Fortnite, Skibidi Toilet, FNAF to some extent, Roblox, etc.
That’s it. There’s no grand anti-lgbt conspiracy. Furries are just weird. If you want, I have access to a discord server that’s like 60-70% queer and I can make a google form to prove this.

it’s both fucking insane and scary. remember that furry hate has always been thinly veiled homophobia
Um no?
Im not straight, I think furries are fucked up. I just wouldn’t ban them for it.

Gays. Black people. Non Christians. Your exact statement has been said about all of them.
Saying something is fucked up has been said about a lot of things. I’m sure there’s someone who’s said it’s fucked up to put pineapple on a pizza.
Also you do realise those are things people are born as? Whereas no furry was born a non-human.
The fact you would even compare them is a a revile as 4Chan trolls trying to link “maps” to LGBT.
This is a wild take
