Any idea why gay furries are so overrepresented in the subculture?

It seems to me that gay dudes are way more common in the furry community than any other group, including straight men. Any thoughts on why this might be? I remember /r/furry having some sort of poll to try to figure out how skewed the numbers were in their subreddit, but have you heard of any other ways that this has been studied?
