Coming out as gay/lesbian/bicycle is one of the most intense moments in any person's life. Since so many furries happen to be one of the three, we invited Mark back into the studio with his Mother, Flo, where they shared their deeply personal stories about Mark's coming out. Hear both sides of how Mark decided how and when to share this part of his identity, how his mother struggled on her path to acceptance, and how they both found a new love in their relationship as mother and son. Everyone has a little bit of themselves in this story, including those who shared their stories via email and voice. -- This episode also has bonus downloads! Check the show notes page for THE GAME, which was cut to keep this episode at the standard double length.

Hello, everyfur.

I have something important to announce this night (it is night time where I live)...

I can't deny it any longer, I have been denying it for three months straight, I just wasn't aware of it. There were times where I've disliked the fandom and there were times where I loved the fandom so much. But now, it's all clear:

I AM A FURRY!!!!!!!!!

This feels great, I feel so free now, a feeling I haven't felt for 3 damn months. YAYYYYY!!

Now, I can enjoy and live my life to it's fullest.

So, now that I am a furry, will that affect my life and beliefs or my preferences? I hope that this is not the case.I love a lot of things, including anime,humans,fantasy,video games... Does being a furry have any limits? What if I lose my love for anime or humans, which I really love!

I feel weird about this decision, but I hope that this weirdness quickly fades away by the supportive nature of this fandom!

I hope that this won't change anything in my life.

SO i did a giant commission http://imgur.com/SeksfTi for a group of like 10 people. typically a full body + shaded + background (detailed) for me is around $25. but in this there is 11 characters. They knew it'd be kinda expensive. but how much do you think I should charge?
