None of your downvotes mean anything - if you’re sexually attracted to “fake animals” or their “suits” or any other side-step variation of romanatic (or god forbid any other variation) with fucking animals, then I want nothing to do with you and I’m sure the LGTBQ community as a whole would agree. Especially considering animals can’t consent and you wanna RP that
Now if you just like dressin up as a goofy ass animal, and that’s where the line is drawn, do you boo.
Pretty much. Generally speaking furries are fans of anthropomorphic characters, which inherently require a human component.
A lot of the hate the furry fandom gets is carryover from it being a very LGBT positive space in the early days of the internet, when that was a significantly less popular opinion to have. This led to a lot of false rumors (and one really inaccurate csi episode) getting spread around.
The anti-furry dogwhistle is overwhelmingly used for anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments. The furry community is almost fully LGBTQ+ (80%+), and the idea that the LGBTQ+ community would be at odds with them shows that you are really misunderstanding the point of the rainbow flag. As the OP meme notes, furries have part of the LGBTQ+ community for a very long time and if you think this is some new phenomenon I really wonder what you’re doing trying to speak for us.

As far as I know being a furry isn’t about sexual attraction to animals, that’s a misunderstanding on your part I’m pretty sure.

This video does a decent dive into the history of the whole thing. Basically it started from larger animation studios wanting to censor artists, leading to a bunch of artists getting together and putting all their weird stuff in one place.
