The percentage of furries that are queer is definitely higher than the total population average; I wonder if the percentage of queer folk who are furries is also similarly higher.

As of the last survey a few years back, something like 80% of furries are queer.

Never saw estimates for how many queer folks are furries but I suspect it's a tiny fraction.

Separately, the number of furries who are in IT is supposedly very high as well, though I have yet to meet any.

I've noticed this myself! Any moderately-sized org probably has a furry or two keeping things running behind the scenes.
