Author of Texas bill to ban 'furries' in schools cannot come up with examples of it happening (web.archive.org)

A Texas bill, known as the FURRIES Act, would ban non-human behaviors in public schools, including the use of litter boxes and wearing animal accessories.

Rep. Stan Gerdes, the bill's author, claimed schools were providing litter boxes for students acting as "furries."

When pressed, Gerdes could not find an example. The bill was left pending in committee.

In a few years, this guy will probably get picked up for human trafficking, CSAM, soliciting sex from minors or some other degenerate activity.

Anybody remember that shit stain from FL, Matt Gaetz?

In 2020, Gaetz was accused of child sex trafficking[a] and statutory rape. After an investigation, the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) decided not to charge him. In December 2024, the House Ethics Committee released a report which found evidence that Gaetz paid for sex—including with a 17-year-old—and abused illegal drugs during his tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives. The committee report did not find sufficient evidence that he had not engaged in sex trafficking as defined in federal law.[2]

Based on all recorded political history and conservatives love of projection, I'm guessing he is one of the more extreme kinky types of furry himself. Nothing illegal, but really disgusting to other people.
