Except the kids being opted out are the ones that need to know it’s ok and normal to be gay or be part of a gay family. [/quote]

Not the school’s role.[/quote]

What are you so frightened of?

If your kid is gay, transgender, reading or not reading a book is not going to change anything about his or her sexual preferences.

OTOH.  That book and a sense of acceptance might save him or her from suicide.  [/quote]

Haven't self identification or being GPBT massively increased in recent years?

https://news.gallup.com/poll/611864/lgbtq-identification.aspx#:~:text=The%20figure%20increased%20to%204.5,included%20in%20the%20LGBTQ%2B%20estimate.

There's a huge generational divide. It's an interesting question if the rate was always really the same or as it has become more socially acceptable more people have shifted their orientation.

The rate is always the same. The reason kids ID now with LGTBQ isn't because it is more socially acceptable, it probably has way more to do with the fact that they think along the lines of "This is cool and unique" or that "This is new!".  Nothing is worse than being a cis gendered non-URM. You must fit into an oppressed group if you want to get anywhere so that you can check a DEI box on a job application or college application.  Dollars to donuts they if you follow up all of these kids 20 years from now that 90% of those IDing as LGBTQ will probably end up leading straight hetero lives in a relationship where they have sired children, lol.  They're in the trend phase of their lives.  [/quote]
