    This issue is about children too young to have a cellphone. Because everyone else (in countries with little to no Internet censorship) can just go online and see everything under god's creation with a few clicks and swipes...

    The bans reflects the age-old paranoia of parents who fear their children could be "recruited" to non-hetero tribes starting from the youngest age.

    Sadly, our culture at large is so hypersexualized - whether straight or LGBT - that in a crude sense their fears are understandable. I can't blame them for wanting to protect their kids' innocence.

    But of course, this quickly morphs into broader intolerance of non-hetero people.

    If only they would realise that we forget to chose who we love.

    There also seems to be a large number of people who are against sexual education in schools in general… Albeit, in modern hypersexualised culture, childrens’ sexual education is important - it’s better for kids learn things in school and be equipped to make informed choices later in life.

    Also, LGBT make an easy target for demonisation, one doesn’t even have to think much of a justification - just point at some archaic outdated law and/or tradition, or possibly a religious postulate, and there you have a ready-made, omnipresent public enemy, responsible for all the bad things that happen.

    I do agree. Unfortunately there will always be a type of people - especially those with strong religious beliefs (sex is for procreation only, etc) - who think sex education promotes more sex.

    I do wish they had LGBT sex education when I was in middle school.
