The furry fandom is a vibrant community united by a shared appreciation for anthropomorphic animal characters. From artistic expression through fursonas to social connections at conventions, the fandom creates spaces for creativity, friendship, and self-expression.

As a Tennessee-based furry group, we embrace LGBT inclusivity as a cornerstone of our community values. Our stance is clear: all members deserve acceptance, respect, and the freedom to be their authentic selves. This commitment reflects the diverse nature of the furry fandom and our dedication to fostering a welcoming environment for everyone.

Creating safe spaces remains essential to our mission. We recognize that many individuals, particularly those in the LGBT community, seek havens where they can connect with like-minded people without fear of judgment or discrimination. Our SFW furry group provides this sanctuary through:

• Strict anti-discrimination policies

• Active moderation of our spaces

• Support systems for all members

This inclusive approach strengthens our community and enriches the experiences of every participant in our Tennessee furry gatherings.

Recent surveys highlight the remarkable diversity within the furry community. Studies by the International Anthropomorphic Research Project reveal that approximately 80% of furries identify as LGBTQ+, making our fandom a vibrant space for diverse gender expressions and sexual orientations.

We embrace this diversity as a cornerstone of our community's strength. Our local gatherings celebrate the authentic expression of all identities, creating spaces where members can be their true selves without fear of judgment or discrimination.

The rich tapestry of identities within our community enriches our collective experience. From art collaborations to casual meetups, this diversity fosters deeper understanding and connections among members, making our Tennessee furry spaces truly representative of the fandom's inclusive nature.

Our group TN sfw furs also represents a part of this fandom and therefore we have a duty to be inclusive ourselve and make sure our group is a safe space for those of all orientation and gender.
