It's not a great piece because it's far too speculative. It has some good info on research in homosexuality but then tries to apply that to various fetishes. For one fetishes are not an orientation, although zoophilia may be, and while homosexuality may be partly genetic I doubt any fetishes are.
What's more likely is that those people hate things not because they see themselves in them but because they are subjects that are often seem as abhorrent or really push the barrier of what is acceptable. Babyfurs are sometimes sexual and sometimes not but in all cases they represent something that people do not want. If sexual it makes people think of sex with children who are neither mentally nor physically mature. If it's not sexual but includes diapers then it is associated with scat and urine, things that are seen to be dirty and unhealthy and which are avoided. Even if that is removed it's grown people pretending to be children and immaturity is not something that is appreciated and the closest real life examples to that are the mentally disabled. At every level the topic will disgust or make someone uncomfortable and that's a far more likely explanation than to try and say that those people are secretly babyfurs, or some other hated minority, themselves.
That's not to say it's impossible but he's taking research out of context and has nothing else to back it up.
"If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind."
