>I predict that in 5-10 years in USA it would become obligatory to participate in "pride parades". People who avoid them would be put on "the list".
is not accurate. We can do it on Longbets.org. I'll give you the full ten year window.
This is way overhyped. It's barely more than “gay people exist, don't bully them” most places. One lesson in PSHE class – maybe two or three, if you get lucky and your teachers decide to teach you about binary trans people too, or if sexuality is mentioned in the Equality Act lesson (which mostly focuses on disability and maternity leave).
> opinions about sexuality are being presented as fact
By this logic, we should ban other children from talking about their religions in schools; they're likely to say things like “Jesus is God” or “God isn't real”. It's unlikely a religious child would get particularly confused with a teacher exposing them to different views on morality, given how much they're already exposed to that.
The most recent I can think of is that creepy Blues Clues episode… why do prepubescent children need to know about Pride and any sexuality at all?
The reasonable middle to me is to introduce LGBT issues in sex-ed when kids are going through puberty and treat it with decorum. You can punish homo/transphobia when it occurs, not try to program it out of literal toddlers with a creepy song about families marching.
Anyway the issue isn’t with kids learning about LGBT, it’s HOW they learn about it. I wouldn’t promote nightclubbing or pickup artistry to my kids. I do also have issues with how aspects of mainstream ‘straight culture’ are pushed to kids as well.
For example, drag is an inherently adult form of entertainment now being pushed to kids. Grown men throwing money at drag kids makes my stomach turn. Two moms or dads taking their kid to play in the park does not.
