What I remember of furry culture from the early-mid 1990s internet was pretty straight, at least to judge from all the announcements of heterosexual marriages, all the porn going around, and prominent internet-furry voices. I was a bit surprised when furry culture saw a resurgence in wider internet culture during the Tumblr era and now was strongly linked to non-cishet themes.

I've actually seen rants from people outside the fandom claiming it's "all straight men" using example art that I knew for a fact was made by someone who was neither straight nor a man. Here's a good documentary that gets into the history of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv0QaTW3kEY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv0QaTW3kEY
