Crowd greets Anthrocon furries in outdoor parade
An article in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, about the (outdoor) fursuit parade at this year's Anthrocon:
http://www.post-gazette.com/local/city/2015/07/11/Crowds-cheer-on-first-public-furry-parade/stories/201507110121#20150711ppFurries5LOCAL-4
Hundreds of people lined 10th Street under the David L. Lawrence Convention Center to enthusiastically cheer on about 1,300 Anthrocon participants dressed in furry animal suits.
The outdoor parade was a first for Anthrocon Inc., which typically holds its “Fursuit Walk” indoors and in private. But in Pittsburgh’s 10th year of hosting the world’s largest gathering of fans obsessed with humanlike animal characters, organizers decided allow them to venture outside.
“The decision to invite the public has been in the back of our minds for quite some time,” said Anthrocon Chairman Samuel Conway in a press release. “It gives the people of Pittsburgh the opportunity to share a little bit of what we do.”
Beginning just after 2 p.m., furry participants exited the convention center’s East Lobby doors and walked in clustered groups through a horseshoe-shaped route. Onlookers whooped and hollered and snapped photos of the elaborate, colorful costumes. Several furries carried selfie sticks to commemorate the event.
The walk lasted nearly an hour and went off without any major medical incidents, despite temperatures in the 80s.
Valerie Sandor, of Monroeville, stood near the finish of the walk. Ms. Sandor comes up every year to catch a glimpse of the fursuits around Downtown, but she was thrilled to hear that there would be an official public parade of all of them together.
“We love the furries,” Ms. Sandor said.

Best and worst things you've come across as a furry?
We've all come across some crazy shit. Whether it's Rule34 of our dearest childhood hero, or the most heartwarming story of a lifetime. What I want to know is what's the best image/story/person you've come across and what's the worst image/person/closest you've come to leaving?

To /r/furry
Hey, I've been noticing a lot of hate recently on reddit, and a lot of it is towards bronies and furries.
Listen, it doesn't matter what you love, it is how you love it. (Wise words of Wil Wheaton)
I'm not a brony or a furry and I do not intend on becoming one, but I thought there could be a change of pace in reddit posts lately.
It isn't coolguy47's business if you want to draw obscure fanfictions or anything, it your business. If you want to draw run of the mill stuff it isn't his either.
It is your business
and your business only.
Don't take the hate, mate. This is your subreddit.
They want to act like they're too cool 4 le furry school, so let em. Doesn't mean you have to listen.
to the small amount of people that will read this, keep doing what you love.

I was blind and you helped me.
Hey there fuzzbutt, during the fursuit parade during AC today, you held my hand and guided me through the fursuit parade. I was blind, I was panicking, I couldn't see. My hood had fallen over my eyes slowly during the march, and the sweat soaked inside the hood made it nearly impossible and painful open my eyes to see the vague shapes around me. By the half way point out of the dealers den, I was 3/4 blind, by the time we reached the escalator I could only see out of my suits mouth, and at the bottom I couldn't see anything. I was begging for help and I bumped into you, I was nearly in tears, explained what was going on to me, and you took my hand and guided me.
You held my hand, and though I ran into something several times, you gently tugged me in the right direction and helped me to the end of the parade. On the escalator back upstairs I was on the verge of a panic attack and tears and you gave me the most comforting hug that I've ever had. I don't know who you are, or even what you look like, because you were gone before I was able to take my head off, but you have my thanks.
Thank you, kind stranger.
