On the other hand I have no issue with the books that portray same sex parents or gay adults. I have no issue with Modern Family or anything that's not aimed at young children who don't possess the capacity to understand any of it.
That's just my personal feeling on the matter anyways. I'm not here to cast judgment on how people live their lives, I really don't care and have never considered any prejudice against the LGBTQ community. Just not sure why this is all at the forefront the past couple of years, you didn't see this kind of push for any other disparaged groups of people.

If you’re being honest with yourself, I bet you’ve never had a single issue with any children’s book where the characters are cisgender and/or straight,
It’s literally almost all of them. Reading to my friend’s kid, there are plenty of books where boy penguins are in love with girl penguins (swap the animals for dinosaurs, or people, or whatever). The are literally countless books with boys that identify as boys and girls that identify as girls.
You’re using children as a way to excuse your dislike or distrust of lgbtq people.
