> why is it okay for sex fetishists to act out sex fetishes in public around kids?

I don't think that's what furries generally do, nor homosexuals for that part, unless you count holding hands or kissing each other on the mouth as "acting out sex fetishes in public"? I don't think I've seen that even once, but living in a "party city", I've more than once seen drunk heterosexual couples having sex in the streets and in the metro.

Being in an animal suit is "act out sex fetishes in public" because that same suit might be used later in connection with sexual activities? Doesn't that make every heterosexual couples clothes also "acting out sex fetishes in public" somehow then?

heterosexual intercourse is the standard against which sexual deviance is compared. therefore I see your assertion is incorrect, as no fetishes are acted out by normal indications of heterosexual desire.

furthermore people wear clothes all the time regardless as to whether they plan to engage in sexual intercourse. in fact clothing is usually less present during sexual intercourse. meanwhile fur suits are an item of clothing physically utilized as part of a sexually deviant activity. from this angle i see that wearing a fur suit is comparable to carrying a sex toy around in public.

i can't play devil's advocate for intentionally doing that around kids. I can't even maintain good faith anymore, next time I see that shit I'm putting a stop to it, unless one of you can convince me not to.

Why do you think this has anything to do with the article? No one needs to endulge your bigotry.

		genuinely curious as to what makes people think it's okay to publicly engage in behaviour directly linked to a sexual fetish which links to the article as per the grandparent comment. I specified around the kids because furries near me go out of their way to have their parties exactly where kids have their parties. nobody has to respond to me, that's true. nobody has to call me names either yet here you are.
