They're kinks/fetishes right? Not related to sexual orientation. Also why are they anything to be 'proud' of? Your closest friends would probably find it pretty odd (and stomach turning!) if you told them your OH likes to wear your undies, or what gets you off is him licking your feet... Why is proclaiming what should be personal and private turn-ons to the general public any better? Why should they be glad for you in any way for being so open about it?

Why should people be ashamed of being into leathers?

You seriously implying, if not flat out saying, that people should be ashamed of who they are is exactly why those are part of PRIDE too, as that's at the core is what's it about - accepting and loving people of all makes, besides haters.

It’s grooming at its worst and always slightly twisted at its best… an over 18 club at night do what you like. But not in public places with children around.

some of those furries need grooming - the state of them

And let's not even start on the adults with a nappy fetish at pride, especially the 60 year old men dressed as baby girls.

They have no place in decent society never mind a Pride parade.

And for once I'm not even contemplating posting an image to go with my post.

Indeed.

Exhibitionist. That's all I can think of. It certainly isn't pride in a sexual orientation, which is what you said also.
