You know, a screen name like Pokelover isn't helping your case much. But bro-hoof anyway.
While there's nothing wrong with being a furry, many people have a very wrong idea of what being a furry means. Being a pegasister, I get some of the same from brony-haters. You've got to realize that some people will judge immediately based on faulty information. I'm not saying you should hide it, but if you announce it proudly, you will encounter this from time to time. That's just the way the world is sometimes.
I hope you can patch things up with your friend though.
For those who don't know, a brony or pegasister is a male or female adult fan of the new My Little Pony show. I do recommend the show. It's well written and appeals to a much broader audience than the theoretical target demographic, but that's getting a bit off topic.
