The Megaplex Furry Convention, taking place in Orlando, Florida, in September is barring minors from the event due to legislation designed to protect children, passed by the state legislature and signed by Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis.
Furries — individuals who identify with anthropomorphic animals, often dressing up as them — are holding a convention at the Hyatt Regency in September 15-17, 2023, but last week, the organization released a statement regarding recent Florida legislation, citing it as the reason it is barring children from the event.
“While this change impacts the 2023 convention, it is unsure if this will have to continue for future years. It is our hope that this change is temporary and that we can welcome members of all ages back next year,” the organization continued.
