My answer to that song would be: We live in a multicultural world and if you don’t teach your kids to accept other peoples choices they say that they will.
The more bigoted parents are, and the more parents say “Stay away from them!” the more teenagers are drawn to the LGBT community and will see that its their parents that’s wrong.
Not true. The more parents encourage their kids to support LGBT, the more confused kids will be. It’s not bigotry if you care about your kid’s wellbeing.
You can explain it to them when they are older and more mature. Maybe after puberty or something. But not when they are toddlers.
We have to be careful what we expose our kids to. Whatever they consume, they will imitate. This is human psychology. If you expose them to abuse, they will abuse. If you expose them to porn, they will watch porn. If you expose them LGBT, they will be LGBT.
Of cause a child’s age has everything to say about at what level and detail you explain things.
Regarding abuse, porn, etc.
What we should do as parents is give our kids enough knowledge and tools to handle it when they eventually will get exposed to it. (Of cause appropriate to their age).
What we should not do is to hide everything away and never speak about touchy subjects, or make the kid afraid of a group of people, because then we make it very easy for people to abuse our kids when they are teenagers or young adults as they don’t know anything about the world. There’s countless examples of this.

You know it is possible for parents to explain LGBT to kids in a positive way without this triggering them to become one.
I don’t buy that for a second, parents who instill hate or fear in their kids against a group of people are doing it wrong.
