The idea that basic facts like the existence of multitude of gender and sexual identities shouldn't be taught at school because it might confuse the kids is silly.
The basics are in no way confusing or complicated. Even pre-schoolers can grasp the stuff with no effort.
It's also ridiculous to not teach the stuff, because the cat is just totally out of the bag anyway. Kids are going to run into lgtbq+ people in social media (or regular media) regardless.
Kids are going to learn about this stuff anyway, but from some totally random person on the internet or a friend, and that's likely going to be way more confusing than if a teacher gives them the basics.
