The argument that they'll make is that if you expose the child to interacting with LGBT people, then it increases the likelihood of the child being more accepting of gay people or Bisexuals when they're older, and again will likely interact with the LGBTQ community at some point in their life.
I can definitely see where the School is coming from tbf, it's kinda similar to when I was at School in Birmingham and they would have us all from all sorts of different backgrounds so that we'd be more accepting of each other, admittedly because we were all kids back then we all said things that we should never have said (myself included) but I honestly feel that the exposure to different races, Religions and other factors did help me be more accepting of other types of people as I've got older, and I will presume the same for others in my class at the time as well that they grew from the experience of a more multi-cultural School.
I'm thinking that kind of logic is what Schools are going with when they're having kids interact with Drag Queens and attending an LGBTQ parade, it's to try and stop children from either being scared of this particular group, and it's probably also to stop them from repressing their sexuality if they turn out to be Gay when they're older.
