I am going to sticky this thread because of the useful data here:

Source on the study or it didn't happen.
Kathleen Gerbasi, Ph.D.'s profile (The Anthrocon researcher)
Proof that Kathy is a real anthropologist and psychologist (And an instructor) | More proof
Kathleen Gerbasi, Ph.D.'s blog (LJ seems down at the moment of posting this)
The "Furries From A to Z" blog (Specifically for research only)
Yahoo! discussion group (For the "Furries From A to Z" results)
Furries From A to Z (These results were published in "Society & Animals" volume 16 number 3, in 2008)
I also believe she specialises in studying human-animal interaction, behaviour, and bonds (Example here).

Furry Sociology Report (This one isn't the Anthrocon research)
State of the Fandom 2008 (Another research publication, not done at Anthrocon either)

If you need more proof, I have a thank you letter and a survey participant sticker on my 2008 Anthrocon badge I can scan or you can e-mail Dr. Gerbasi yourself at the e-mail listed on the second or third links above.

Sauce delivered (Google is your friend).

Edit:
Now that I have the research in front of me... No, homosexuality does not have the highest percentage in the fandom. Bisexuality does. And no, it wasn't stuffed into the same group.
Quote
No female furries reported being homosexual; 58.3% were heterosexual, and 41.7 % were bisexual. Of the male furries, 31.5% were homosexual, 28% heterosexual, and 40.5% bisexual.
