DeSantis Law Sparks Controversy at Furry Convention.
An upcoming "furry" convention in Florida will restrict its attendees to adults over 18 in response to Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis' law prohibiting children from attending "adult live entertainment." The Protection of Children Act (SB 1438) specifically prohibits a person from "knowingly admitting a child to an adult live performance." The furry organization judged their own convention to be potentially violating a law meant to prevent the sexualization of children. Many furries are marginalized in some way, and the community attracts those who are "marginalized." Despite this year's age policy, Megaplex remained optimistic that circumstances could change in 2024.
