Okay, first things first. If you're reading this thread there is something you need to know about me. I'm a zoo. I like wolves and certain breeds of dogs a bit too much. I'd never actually practice zoophilia or bestiality, and I find it to be the most heinous of crimes. But the feeling is there regardless. Because of the rather sick nature of the practice, I don't really want to associate myself with it. Especially considering furries take enough shit from people, I don't want people to assume all furries are a bunch of pet molesting weirdos. It's discrimination, and it's wrong. Anyway... the reason I wanted to post this is because in about 10 days I'm going on Kairos. It's a spiritual retreat. Mostly it revolves around love. I'm going with about 45 of my classmates, and it's a good chance to get closer to them and really get to know them. I've been thinking about telling them about my spirituality, what I believe (something I usually don't share), and about my canine affinity and how it's partially made me who I am. They're good men, and I trust them. They accepted me completely when I came out as bi. But zoophilia is a little different than homosexuality, I'm sure you understand. Any thoughts on this? I've really wanted to talk about this sort of thing for a while, and I think Kairos will be a good chance to. This isn't something I'm typically open about (for obvious reasons), but these men mean a lot to me, and they should know the whole me. Thanks for any thoughts/advice/comments.
If they mean alot to you tell them, I'm sure they'll understand! They might not understand what you're going through, but they'll understand that this is you. And its little stuff like this that makes us unique individuals and we all deserve to be accepted for who we are not what we make ourselves!
I think it'll be fine if you tell them. You say that you trust them and they're pretty accepting, so I think that they'll be alright about it. You are who you are; there's no reason for them to get all judgmental over this. Good luck! (*hug*)
well the lovely difference about being a zoo is that not many people understand it so youll be able to explain it to them, while when people think of homosexuality they think of pride and drag queens
I'm back from Kairos. I was able to open up about this, and a lot more. I've never felt better in my life. Thanks everyone for your help. Love you all.
