Gay relationships or transgender people being mentioned/ shown in children shows and movies

Nope. It’s nice to see my child represented

It doesn’t bother me at all. Representation matters, and LGBTQ+ people are part of everyday life. If that makes someone uncomfortable, that’s something they need to unpack—not something the world needs to hide. And no, a show isn’t going to “make” your child anything. The only thing you’re actually controlling as a parent is whether your child feels safe being themselves with you.

I can’t imagine why it should make you uncomfortable

I don’t view it as any different than a straight couple in a tv show or book. Eventually your kid will meet another kid with gay parents or a transgender parent so it’s not like you’re “protecting” them from anything 🤷‍♀️

Having people who look and have lives different to your own is so beneficial for children’s books. It extends further, having books about non-nuclear families in general, single parent households, children or parents with disabilities, different skin colours, traditions, etc etc. I think it’s pretty uplifting for children of gay parents to see families like theirs and know that there’s nothing wrong with it. And in the long run, your child will be much more tolerable of others, more welcoming, loving, & accepting of people different to them, and that’s exactly what the world needs

We need MORE diversity.

It kinda depends. There are some that are a little pushy about it. I don’t like the ones that seem forced. The ones that is it what it is and it’s not a big deal are nice to have. We watch a lot of stuff and I have no issue. My son loves his rupaul little people too. In the evenings when we wind down our day we watch law and order svu with the kids. And they seem to watch it. I feel like it’s never too early to teach safety which does deal with the topic of transgender and gay relationships.

As a demisexual (only have sexual attraction to people after establishing a close bond) non-binary (female at birth) parent in a heteronormative (my fiancé is male) relationship

Absolutely not. I love the representation in media, tho I do understand that it is WAY more common in media than in real life relationships but if we aren’t represented we’d go back to the days when I’d be ended or seriously injured for just existing and that would not be fair on my little one

Shoot I read uncomfortable as comfortable and voted wrong! 🤦🏻‍♀️ NOT uncomfortable
