This is a step in the right direction, but I fear it's too late for most kids. Even regular, everyday kids from relatively normal homes have accepted most forms of gayness. They've grown up in a culture that never stops talking about it and with teachers who give it a special status. It's all they know. A lot of my students talk about "questioning" their sexual preference and dating both sexes. And no, I don't discuss that topic with them, but I overhear their conversations sometimes.
But the one thing I notice at the school where I work is that transgenderism has NOT been widely accepted by teenagers. Many, if not most, of the kids I teach still reject it and reject the idea of having to share a bathroom with so-called trans kids. I think there is a part of our brains that innately understands that men in dresses, lipstick, and wigs are not normal and are not good for our survival as a species. Even highly influenced teenagers can sense this. Anyway, just my two cents on this subject. I think it's going to take a LOT more than this to wake up most kids.
