– Minors Banned From Attending Orlando Furry Convention Under New Florida Law:
Authored by Darlene McCormick Sanchez via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),
An upcoming Furry convention in Florida will ban children from attending this year’s event due to a new state law.
The Megaplex 2023 convention, scheduled for Sept. 15–17 in Orlando, caters to a subculture of people interested in anthropomorphic characters—animals with human characteristics.
Furry enthusiasts dress in animal costumes that reflect human characteristics or personas.
But sexual predators have taken advantage of the Furry craze because they know the fun-looking costumes and play-acting helps attract children, an expert told The Epoch Times.
And in 2021, a woman said she reported to Megaplex organizers that she was assaulted by a “convicted pedophile” at the event. Convention organizers later responded with an apology.
