That's the point. It is something you do in your spare time. Trouble starts when someone decides "Furry" is what defines them. When you need to express "Furry pride" everywhere and everyday, it will annoy people.
Noone cares about a hobby, but if you come to work with your fluffy tail and bark at customers, people will laugh at you.
Just thought I'd point out there's a #Furrypride tag on Tumblr and it is ... 'mentally frustrating' to put it lightly.
I kind of 'came out' as a furry to the guy I'm going out with and his response was a resounding meh. Thankfully he doesn't know much about furries so I gave him an impartial look at the fandom and he's chill with it.

Personally, whatever I do in my spare time is no business of anyone else.
I'll also add that in my view, coming out as furry makes about as much sense to me as coming out as a Golfer, or a wood carver. To me, it's a hobby, an interest, and nothing worth "Coming out" for.

Hey, at least you didn't get kicked out of the country club for "night putting" with the chairman's daughter!
I disagree with this thread although I understand the logic behind it. If being a furry is a strong part of your sexuality, I don't see it much different than "coming out" gay. Both are activities that nobody really needs to know about, and exist in private reality. If you view it as a lifestyle, even more so. If you view it as a simple hobby, then you don't have to "come out", but telling people about it isn't a bad thing... it is showing who you are networking. It isn't just furries that have this phenomena, not too long ago computer gaming was an obscure hobby that some felt ashamed of to admit in public, so I can see the same context applied here... being proud of what you enjoy, not being ashamed of it. Which of course is different than coming out. But if it is both a hobby and sexual interest, than I can see the need to do so... although it isn't required, anymore than telling non-partners you are gay.
