I disagree. Children are bombarded by heterosexual messaging non-stop, so simply informing them that there is such a thing as gay or lesbian is helpful for gay and lesbian children. "Children shouldn't know anything about sexuality" well they do. Heterosexual sexuality. And they will continue to be bombarded with such messaging and exposed to heterosexuality. So now we're going to make it illegal to learn that being gay is a thing? Everyone's acting like they're planning on playing gay porn over the projector. No, homosexuality is simply going to be given a tiny fraction of the attention that heterosexuality is given in these children's lives and education, and it will be helpful for homosexual children.

Yes, the trans kids issue did spark this, but Republicans are being homophobic by specifically excluding sexual orientation as well.
