A Connecticut councilman is resigning after his profile on a website catering to furries appeared on social media but the outgoing first-term Democrat insists his animal costume fetish has nothing to do with sex.
New Milford Councilman Scott Chamberlain, who was up for re-election, is stepping down after a town resident posted several screenshots on Facebook of the lawmakers profile on a private website for furries, a subculture of people who don animal costumes, sometimes for sexual gratification.
In response to information about likes on a personal page by Councilman Chamberlain, I have called for his immediate resignation from the Town Council and any other appointed Boards and Commissions, Mayor David Gronbach said in an email to The Post. As public servants, we are held to a higher standard and Mr. Chamberlains apparent posts do not meet that standard.
The profile on sofurry.com according to the Danbury News Times, which first reported on it Thursday includes a list of Chamberlains preferences, ranging from loves to likes to tolerates to hates in order to customize content sent to users. Chamberlain, whose avatar resembles a fox named Gray Muzzle, insisted to the newspaper that his interest in the subculture stems from an appreciation for animal characters like Tony the Tiger and Mickey Mouse.
Its nothing to do with sex; its an interest in cartoon animals, Chamberlain told the newspaper Thursday.

Linkman: Yes. The Mouse Problem· This week 'The World Around Us' looks at the growing social phenomenon of Mice and Men. What makes a man want to be a mouse.
(Interviewer, Harold Voice, sitting facing a confessor. The confessor is badly lit and is turned away from camera.)
Confessor: (very slowly and painfully) Well it's not a question of wanting to be a mouse... it just sort of happens to you. All of a sudden you realize... that's what you want to be.
Interviewer: And when did you first notice these... shall we say... tendencies?
Confessor: Well... I was about seventeen and some mates and me went to a party, and, er... we had quite a lot to drink... and then some of the fellows there ... started handing ... cheese around ... and well just out of curiosity 1 tried a bit ... and well that was that.
Interviewer: And what else did these fellows do?
Confessor: Well some of them started dressing up as mice a bit ... and then when they'd got the costumes on they started ... squeaking.
Interviewer: Yes. And was that all?
Confessor: That was all.
Interviewer: And what was your reaction to this?
Confessor: Well I was shocked. But, er... gradually I came to feel that I was more at ease ... with other mice.
Dustbunnies can be corralled.
Furries are worse.
Wow, I actually read the article and missed that. Oops
How gray!
Ever wonder why our Republicans and the Supremes behave the way they do?
What adult doesn’t have a healthy interest in Tony the Tiger? He’s grrrreat!
Bunghole???
The day is coming when furries will be serving in uniform.
Bumper sticker material. :-)
He should have told the mayor to pound sand and then show up at every council meeting in fur.
That would be awesome!
I read about it here on FR. Some actress named Jennifer Lawrence and I have no idea why she did it. And apparently it didn’t even slow her career down.
Resigned in disgrace?
He's more like to be the 2020 Demonrat Presidential nominee.
