As a parent of two wonderful children, who naturally has met a ton of other parents through the years (Parent Council in schools etc, I don’t know a single one who fears their child being gay, nor a single one who is anything but horrified if their kids are anything but happy well adjusted members of society.
A few of the kids friends are almost certainly in the LGBTQ2S+ orientation. Everyone loves them as they are. When they understand themselves and come forward with their identities, they will be as loved and welcomed as the day before.
Your comment is a sad commentary on your community and culture. I hope you find light and at least a better tribe.

Actually yes. We have some Brazillians immigrants in the kids circle of friends and have had them over for dinner a few times. Very concientious. Animal activists.
Maybe It’s not representative of the people, but maybe its why they left.

Fucking. Stop. Shit like this is why bigots make fun of the whole movement. “I can’t keep up with the pronouns!” I can’t keep up with the bullshit, and I’m an ally. Stop. (Xe or Fae or Hu or whatever you are. You’re certainly not a fucking elf, won’t go there.)
LGBT covers 99.997% of non-cis humans. JFC, let it ride at that. (And here comes some 14-yo, “I don’t feel included.” Yeah, neither did any of us at that age, not even the jocks and popular kids.)

I didn’t make it. I don’t care how long it is, or how many variations of gender identities exist now or in the future or how our culture evolves in recognizing our innate diversity. As long as the kids are safe, loved and can lead full lives as who they are.
I don’t care how hurt your feelings are, or how fragile you are or how limited or conditional your “allyship” is.

There is no compromising with the bigots. Being an ally in any movement also means you let others employ different tactics that you think are silly or more extreme or mainstream than you would express yourself.
