The cited article never claims 99% of furries identify as LGBTQ. Studies suggest 30% of furries identify as heterosexual. This is significantly different than the general population, where 90% of people identify as heterosexual, but also significantly different than “99%”. https://www.vice.com/en/article/bjmq9d/how-the-furry-community-became-a-safe-space-for-youth
