   I'm not certain how far it goes. My Niece said that it is far more   
   explicit than they used to touch on for a hetero couple. I can see   
   telling young kids that some families have 2 mommies or 2 daddies   
   but at that age I don't think it should go beyond that.   
      
   MP>That is often a hot political topic here.  Proponents of exposing children   
     >to LGBTQ+ adults claim that they are not learning about the act itself and   
     >are just learning about how people are different.   
      
   They had a picture book that was explaining that some kids feel like   
   a girl and some feel like a boy and some feel like both or neither   
   which she wasn't too happy about - again due to the age. That's fine   
   if the kids are 10 or 12, but just confuses a 5 year old.   
      
   They are finding that some kids are pretty much being talked into   
   thinking they are gay or trans because they think it's Cool, but   
   it's at the point where if, for example, a boy wants to dress as   
   a girl and have everything in the school done treating him as a   
   girl, that's fine and this can be totally hidden from the parents.   
      
   Also some places are starting to allow kids as young as 13 to get   
   sex change hormones (again, this can be done without parental   
   consent) but what's starting to show up in some places is kids that   
   got a sex change when they were 13 or 14 are coming back at age   
   17 or 18 wanting to be changed back.  (Wasn't so Cool after all!)   
      
   As usual, I don't care what people decide in that area but I don't   
   think any major change should be done before the age of consent,   
   especially without parental involvement.   
      
   I won't comment on the idea that I might've been willing to wear   
   a skirt in school if it got me into the girl's change rooms. B)   
      
   One minor caveat.. some 'cultures', if a child came home saying   
   they were gay or wanting a sex change, they might be killed by   
   their relatives, so it's not quite the same situation for all.   
      
   I'm sure a lot of other parents might not be thrilled about it   
   either but hopefully wouldn't react quite that badly..
