Not to contradict anyone else's point but kids are going to find out that LGBT people exist regardless of whether parents tell them or not. Kids meet other people, watch shows and movies, use the internet, and read stories like Kira's. It is more important that they are taught to accept those people or story characters as they are.
@Vanessa's Dolls Again, I completely agree that kids will find out that those types of people exist. I'm saying that different families have different opinions about when to introduce their children to certain things. An example is that if an LGBT couple adopted a child, they may want to wait to introduce their child to straight people. I don't believe that there is anything wrong with straight or LGBT parents waiting to introduce their child to something like that. I think most, if not all, people acknowledge that there are LGBT people in this world and no one is actually scared of them or anything. I'm saying that if they just had an LGBT couple in a book or television show, that would work to simply normalize it, but if the author/producer made a huge deal out of it, that could be interpreted as cramming the LGBT people down one's throat.
