As much as the Tweet is just some cheap pandering but the replies themselves are really inappropriate. I am reading some and they only remind me of anti-LGBT reactionary groups outraged about talking about the possibility a girl can like a girl, and boy can like a boy. Is it really grooming to tell that some people just won't like anyone and it's okay? No one will be explicitly talking about sex to kids. It really only reminds of the outrage of right-wingers in regards to acknowledging the existence of gay people as normal and not keeping it secret because it offends the straight or it will turn kids gay. Some of the comments are really crossing a line - saying it's grooming, pedophilia, urging to keep kids safe (the assumption that they will be introduced to explicit content while just acknowledging some people are ace?). I've seen this before somewhere.

I really can't agree with the way backlash of these people is expressed because it just reads like good old homophobic outrage to me.

Though as you see my flair, yes I am biased, but damn the replies are just very bad in my opinion.

Perhaps not, but from when does any sexuality have anything to do with Girl Guides?
