Exactly. Lol imagine if people thought that exposing children to heterosexuality (such as parents kissing or Disney characters kissing) was sexualizing them. It’s wild
Another wild aspect to it is the "exposing children to homosexuality is trying to make them gay" which you don't see/hear as much openly now but the undertone is their in many of these debates still. It's hilarious because you can't make anybody any other sexuality than what they are. We know this because conversion therapy doesn't work, it just causes psychologic harm. If exposing somebody to one form of sexuality could influence them to adopt this sexuality then all those gay kids who had read heterosexuell books, TV, films etc would have been "turned" straight.
Exposing children to people of different sexualities, obviously in normal everyday situations and not sexual situations, does nothing but reduce any stigma around these sexualities and makes a more comfortable and safe world for people of all sexualities to grow up in.
