Yeah I mean, I agree, but yeah, people just hate others outside of their tribe. Personally, I do find furries a touch strange. Kind of big Theater Kid Energy, but I also subscribe to live and let live.

Not sure about what you mean about not being gay if you have sex your whole life though. Homosexuality, as well as heterosexuality is literally about sex. It's sexual orientation.

It's about who you love, not just who you have sex with. Two women who are asexual (don't experience much in the way of sexual pleasure) who have a long term committed romantic relationship may not technically be "homosexual", but they are definitely seen and treated as such. And I think the term "gay" very comfortably applies.

You can have sexual orientation without ever having sex. For example you can be heterosexual and never find a sexual partner - that doesn't make you asexual, you're just a heterosexual virgin.
