Fur What It's Worth

S5 Episode 6 – I Like to Ride My Bicycle

Listen Later

Coming out as gay/lesbian/bicycle is one of the most intense moments in any person’s life. Since so many furries happen to be one of the three, we invited Mark back into the studio with his Mother, Flo, where they shared their deeply personal stories about Mark’s coming out. Hear both sides of how Mark decided how and when to share this part of his identity, how his mother struggled on her path to acceptance, and how they both found a new love in their relationship as mother and son. Everyone has a little bit of themselves in this story, including those who shared their stories via email and voice. — This episode also has bonus downloads! Check the show notes page for THE GAME, which was cut to keep this episode at the standard double length.
