Yes, because when we were kids, the world was so accepting... I left school in 2006 and things have changed and become way more accepting in that short window of time so if you are older and you're trying to make out that people have always been accepting of homosexuality then, lol, you don't know the first thing you're talking about.

What's the problem with telling kids that some families have same sex parents and others don't? That's literally all there is to it but teaching that to kids can save lives because it normalisses homsexuality and gives gay kids something that they have often gone without, a feeling of acceptance and security in who they are.

There are no bad sides to this, the only people that think otherwise are people who take issue with homosexuality itself and refer to it as an 'agenda'....
