My understanding is this bill is more focused on sexual orientation and gender than it is sex ed. Both of which are topics we’ve evolved on as a culture over the last 20 years.

I don’t think kindergartners need sex ed, but I do think explaining that some kids have two moms or two dads is worthwhile at that age.




> some kids have two moms or two dads

I 100% agree that's reasonable.

What's unreasonable is schools/teachers practicing "gender affirmation" of 5 year olds (or indeed any age) behind parents' backs. If a boy likes playing princess it doesn't mean he's a girl, and to be honest that seems patronising and cruel.


> Both of which are topics we’ve evolved on as a culture over the last 20 years.

I think you propose agreement on issues where there is none which was partly the motivation of this bill.
