Yeah, I agree it’s down the parent to do their own research on any themes in a particular book, that’s fine. But they’re also within their right to express that their child isn’t ready to learn about same sex couples. It’s the parents choice! If not, and every should be made aware of exactly what is and isn’t same sex and the ins and outs of every sexuality, where would you draw the line? Want to take dolls into a nursery?

Of course heterosexuality is okay because most kids see this with their own eyes - their own parents, grandparents, films, music videos, everything, and they adjust. Seeing LGBT stuff naturally is less common because there are less same sex couples and straight couples don’t feel the need to shove this in their face from the age of 6 months.

It IS NOT okay to hide truths and reality if their child is ready, but it IS NOT insane to say that this person is in the wrong for not wanting to teach their child same sex stuff! Maybe their kid is quite simply.. NOT READY!?

LGBT has really been blown up in recent years and I respect anyone’s own life choice and decisions, but there has to be a line drawn for teaching young kids about this. Otherwise people are overly speculative and assume because their 2yo son is playing ‘mums and dads’ or with a barbie, suddenly they need a sex change and whatever else.

Let kids find their own way and parents teach kids when the kid is ready, and when the parent deems it so. And stop pulling out the LGBT card at every opportunity like the race card - my opinion is my own and doesn’t make me homophobic.

Go ahead, downvote me to oblivion!
