The reason it was so difficult to find the original post in this case was due to how bad Facebook is with external archivers and search engines. Image
The original Instagram post still exists, but the profile is private. I have screenshots of the post & archives of the pictures; it was a set of 5 images posted on August 19, 2019. The post title reads: "À girl and her pupps ! #gaypride #gay #fiertemontreal #fiertemtl"
I didn't dig too much on the origin of the Folsom Street/Photoshop lie, but this post from Michael Paulausski seems to be a major part of it, spinning it as part of a 4chan operation 'Pridefall': ImageImage
Michael's thread has a surprise appearance from Cody Johnston, where he accurately attributes the image to Montreal Pride 2019. They argue. ImageImageImageImage
The post above Cody's was deleted, but thankfully some beautiful soul archived it: Image
Apparently Vaush read Michael's thread and amplified this post. I'll have to spend some time to find that stream, but it might be where the whole lie started. ImageImage
Here's some of the pushback from people who claimed this image was Photoshopped (most after the videos/photos were shown to them): ImageImageImageImage
I've been hesitant to put out FB/Insta links and archives because the profile IDs are embedded in the photo URLs.

Seems clear doing that would be exactly the kind of attention this group is looking for.

Came across a strange conspiracy theory regarding this photo of a girl with 'human pups.' I've seen multiple claims (all without evidence) that this image is:
1. from the Folsom Street SF event (18+)
2. Photoshopped A girl in a pink dress holds a pride flag and interacts with human pups (men in colorful leather dog masks and other leather fetish gear) at the Montreal Pride Parade on August 18, 2019.
There is no evidence this image is from Folsom Street. We have multiple videos of this exact group of pups performing in front of/to children along the 2019 Montreal Pride Parade route. A girl in a purple dress pe...
The odd thing is how resolved people are to lie about this image being 'debunked.'

When presented with photo/video evidence, they continue to claim the points above. ImageImageImageImage
