If you were a teacher I would not want you teaching my child.
This sentence inspired me to devise a thought experiment.
Imagine you and I each have 100 grade-school children, and that there is a long hallway with 100 classrooms in it. You and I walk down the hallway and pop our heads in each door, where one of each of our kids is there being taught by a teacher. In some of the rooms math is being taught, in others it's English, in others it's subject X, in others it's subject Y, etc. As we close the door and head to the next classroom, we give the teacher in the previous classroom a grade. The grade determines whether that teacher continues teaching our kid or is replaced with a different teacher who we would award a better grade.
We base our grade on things like the quality of instruction in whatever the subject and how well the teacher answers questions and manages disruptions of course, but also on the particular values the teacher seems to be imparting.
Imagine in one of the classrooms the subject is marketing or microeconomics or something like that. We pop our heads in to see the teacher projecting that beer can photo on the front of the classroom. He says:
"Look at this. AB put the phrase 'will be donated to...celebrate the LGBTQ community' on the label because they are relying on the public to have worked up a system of allegiances and groupthink identities, which AB's marketers hope to unlock and play upon with that marketing copy. They want you to see that phrase and be motivated to buy, or if not buy then at least notice, their product. If you want to be a smart consumer, a consumer who is inocculated against their ploy, you will recognize this and be unmoved by it. Don't play AB's stupid game. Buy things based on whether they meet your standards of quality and price. Set reasonable ethical boundaries of course--you probably shouldn't give money to companies that are directly supporting genocide or terrorism or some such thing, but don't get caught up in whatever silly en vogue tribal affiliations those companies' marketing divisions are signaling."
I would give that teacher an A, and you evidently would give that teacher an F.
Notice our two grades have nothing to do with our own thoughts about human sexuality (which is ultimately the referent of "LGBTQ"), or at what age kids ought to learn about human sexuality, or anything else of the sort.
In fact if we walked further down the hallway and found an array of sex ed classes, I'm certain we would find many teachers there upon whom we'd bestow the same high grade, because they would teach the facts in a straightforward way (e.g. "approximately 1-3% of the adult population is homosexual, and approximately one tenth that many identify as transsexual; the causes of these uncommon orientations are not fully understood, and the numbers themselves are hard to pin down due to a variety of complications in how they are determined..." etc.).
If one of those teachers added "...and gay/trans people are creepy, weird, and evil, demonic even, and you would be wise to discriminate harshly against anyone you suspect might belong to one of those groups, regardless what else you know or don't know about them" or a similar statement, would you give that teacher an even better grade, Eddie?
If the teacher said something, like "being gay or trans may have implications for other aspects of personality and neurology (for example trans people seem on average more able to envision an image of a spinning mask as being concave or convex no matter the mask's actual direction), but any empirical evidence for this only shows up on a statistical rather than individual level, so in your dealings with other people it makes sense to consider their sexual orientation as a minor afterthought at most; instead, base your determinations about the character of the person in front of you first and foremost on the ethicality of their demonstrated behavior" would you give that teacher a lower grade? Based on this discussion it seems like you would but I hope I am wrong.
