Why are there people who consider LGBT things an inappropriate topic for children? In 2012 I heard the word ālesbianā for the first time and decided to look it up. After watching a couple of videos (a clip from a movie and some anime scene, I think), my only thought was āoh, itās just people kissingā and I moved on. When I was 9 and going through the beginning of my weeb phase, I found a gay anime ship for the first time and my reaction was just āthatās cute, but I donāt ship itā. When I was 8, there was something about a transgender woman on the news, and I listened with complete interest, not fazed by the fact that someone with a dick can be a woman. When I was 11, I told my dad that I thought that one of his friendās names was strange to me, and he explained that his friend was taking medication to become a boy, and I completely understood.
Stop keeping LGBT things away from children. They understand it just fine.
