"Hello, everyone, and welcome to our latest episode of our coverage of the IAC." said Miles, as he started the latest episode.

"As part of Pride Month, I'm going to be interviewing Sergei here." said Miles as an enormous, and enormously muscular, white wolf entered the interview room, followed by a translator, because he clearly didn't speak English very well yet. While Miles was rather nervous around him, as he was around all other predator Animalians, he was able to do a complete interview.
From what Sergei (not his real name) could tell, if LGBT+ discrimination was bad now, it was worse back when Russia was still the Soviet Union. In fact, it was specifically during the fall of the Berlin Wall that Sergei was able to defect to the US when he was in his 50s. Of course, there were plenty of comments, from both guys and girls that focused more on his physique than his words.

"Before we go to a commercial break," said Miles, "Stay tuned for Lexia's special coverage of the IAC Bodybuilding tournament and the arrival of the Joyous Bounty."

After the commercial break, Miles had an interview with one of the Christian nuns who underwent conversion. She had become a mare Animalian and, while her traditional garments did a decent job of covering up everything "indecent", it was still somewhat "corrupted" by her new curves and muscles.
"So, do you have some more information on Animalians for the Vatican?" asked Miles, politely.
"Well, uh," she answered, "Yes and no. Yes, I did get some more information, but, no, it's not enough for a decisive answer."
"What information did you get?" asked Miles, trying not to pry.
"It actually is more difficult for Animalians to maintain vows of chastity, especially with all the hunky stallions around." she replied. At that, Vlad collapsed face down on the desk, again, while Dimitri crossed off another name, again, while saying "Oh, brother.", again.

After that, there was a similar interview with one of the Muslims who had arrived for conversion. While she was wearing a burqa for the interview, it was more to illustrate a point than anything else. While most of the finer details were covered up, it was clear she was a canine Animalian.
"At first I thought Animalians were wearing less clothing for... 'western' reasons." she said, in response to one of Miles' questions, "But now I understand why: wearing this has me feeling like I'm being roasted alive."
"Well, we got to go to a commercial break anyway," said Miles, "So you can deal with that soon."

"Before we wrap this up, we've got one more interview, and the results of taking "fangirl-ism", or whatever you want to call it, too far." At that, a new golden fox Animalian entered. What made her immediately different was that the sclera (whites) of her eyes were black, while her irises were blue, which caused many to associate her with the character Renamon, though she was missing both the sleeves and purple "tattoos". Another thing about her was that, similar to Sergei, she didn't speak much English and thus needed a translator.
Miles kept many of the questions he asked her respectful, though there were still a few surprises.
"So, the reason you became a fox Animalian was because you tattooed your sclera black?" asked Miles, very confused at the prospect.
"That's correct." she answered, "But not long afterwards, both my eyes swelled shut. I was treated with steroid drops, but my vision was really badly blurred after that. That's why I sought conversion."
"And did it work?" asked Miles, trying not to pry.
"Actually, yes." she answered, "My vision is perfect now, but I've got other problems."
"Oh?" asked Miles.
"Because I'm skilled in martial arts (though not a black belt yet), I'm having trouble keeping away rabid fans due to my increased strength." she replied.
"I see." said Miles, clearly understanding why and both ignoring the lewder comments.

"We'll wrap this up here." said Miles as the interview ended, "But our special coverage of the IAC isn't over yet. Stay tuned for our first Human vs. Animalian comparison, Sophie and Roland's coverage of the Mesozoic Enclave, the IAC "Beach Bod" Tournament (as some of you have called it), the arrival of the SS Joyous Bounty at Mieni Atoll, and much more."
