From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hello, I am a queer furry, and if you are put off by my introduction then you have a lot of shit you need to reflect on.
It is a social norm for openly queer people to be, wait for it, openly queer. Ever hear of a little thing called Stonewall? Ever hear of the core concept of queer pride?
Bigots feeling bigoted discomfort is solidly a "them" problem, and I should not and will not suppress myself to appease bigots like you.
