I have yet to tell my parents that I'm a Furry because they will disown me, so I was just wanting to know who has told their parents and what their reaction was.

Care to join me for a bit?
my dad thought it was funny and weird but is taking me to FWA in march hehe

tried to explain to mom and her BF but they still dont understand wtf it is

why the HELL would they disown you? i dont see what you overreacting drama queens of furries think is so WRONG about being one and why you have to be so fucking SECRETIVE its not a fucking big DEAL.

when i present a powerpoint to the class its always "an Andrew *insert last name here/ Sebastien the fox production" and i insert my lonelyfox avatar, my pyong the fox FA site avvy, or my I love you fox, depending on the powerpoint, im not ashamed of it and i tell them all my writing is in anthropomorphics and they dont question it. my SS and science teachers thinks its cool as hell. and last friday i bought a shit with an anthro wolf on it in the woods holding a spear and i got 5 compliments from people today who loved it! I even got 3 other people to join the fandom!

im 14, its not a fucking big deal people!

Same as you. I rely to secrecy for being a furry.

People who are afraid for their lives about "coming out" as furry forget this one important detail...:

You don't have to tell them.

Ehh, I have no emotional attachment to my parents, probably because they never showed any form of love or compassion my entire life, everyone just kinda kept to themselves..... I'll Tell them, and when they stop speaking to me, Guess who doesn't get to see their Grandkids ^_-

Being furry is the last of the problems.

I haven't told them because it's completely unremarkable.

"Mom, Dad, I collect model trains."
"... so? And?"

As for the "adult" parts, why the hell would I tell my parents about the porn I'm looking at, even if it were completely normal porn?

"Mom, Dad, I look at porn."
"We figured as much. Why did you feel the need to confirm it?"

I assume my mom found my porn, since after she cleaned the computer it was all gone. Though that was years ago. Not everyone lives with their parents.

They live in Montana. I live in Maryland. Problem solved.

(Back when I actually lived with them, though, I kept my porn on my server, which required a password to access remotely, was a text-only system at the console and didn't have a monitor attached to it half the time.)

you sounds kind of paranoid...

Nah. Paranoid would be if I set that up just to keep my porn on it. I've been running a server of some variety since high school for various reasons. (Hosting files, remote access, learning about UNIX, etc.) In fact, now that I live on my own and have to pay my own electric bill, I still run the server. (Although I keep the porn on my desktop in a folder called "porns" now.)

Told my mom. She didn't really care.

That day I realized how absurd the whole "furry closet" thing is.

The only two reasons I can think of to tell your parents are to prevent them from finding out about furries elsewhere (say, 4chan (I know, as if)), or to buy you furry stuff.
It might also help when you're going to a several-day con in a different country, though you should really be living on your own by then.

But all that can be done by simply mentioning the furry fandom etc, no need to have a talk with them.

*Shocked looks from both parents*

"See shit could be so much worse then me liking anthromorphs"

*holds up picture of lesbians bunnies*

*shocked look from mother*

Father: "Look at the tits on that one!"
 
I told my mom. She just kinda shrugged and was like "okay"

Then again, being a furry is the least strangest thing I've ever admitted to...but then again, I tell her my fetishes, how much I want to jump certain people's body, and the night I lost my v-card I called her up and we talked about it and ended up laughing about the experience.

Although, I probably wouldn't tell my dad about it, simply because he would just be confused, then shake his head and not care, so there really isn't any reason to worry about it xD

I've never been the type of person to be "in the closet" ABOUT ANYTHING. I told my mom as soon as I realized I was bisexual and other various things like that. She's always been extremely supportive of who I am, even if she doesn't fully understand it. So, I can't really complain :)

I think I'm going to FC sometime, and I'm gonna have to play it off as some bullshit like "Writing an essay about this niche of society for my college thesis" or something.
