Bleh, it's just one of Below Orbit's hops across the desert. Barely counts as space if you want a technicality, isn't an actual orbit, this person isn't an astronaut.

Wasn't Sally Ride either bi or a lesbian? I guess she wasn't out though... So this guy feels he can claim that.

Through a lot of self-exploration, I came to the conclusion that I’m pansexual, which means I’m attracted to people without discrimination in terms of gender identity.

I like anthropomorphic animals, so I don't really care about genitalia. Anthropomorphic? I'm there.

I also discovered a love for other niche communities, most notably the furry community, which unites people who have an appreciation for animals with human traits.

Cart-before-horse.

While I found these aspects of myself perfectly natural, almost a logical expression of who I am, others around me had a harder time accepting it.

The LG angle.

I recognized that this journey would make me one of the first civilians, and possibly the first openly expressive pansexual person, to breach that barrier.

Aw shucks. The first known paraphile in space. Pack up your bigotry folks. They've gone to space!

I don't mind the guy at all. Regular furry...but.. like, could you just lead with and own the furry thing? That's what's salient about this person. You want tolerance? Well, don't come at me with some false pretenses that this is gay 2.0. That's all.
