Yeah.. I think 6/7 is too early to learn about sex. Although another issue arises: if it's unavoidable for a 6/7-year-old to hear about sex and LGBTQ+, considering it's a pretty hot topic lately, I wonder if it's good for them to be told a simplified version of it early on. I mean.. they will either hear about it at home, in the classroom, or on social media/TV. And kids are curious and have questions. This seems like a lose-lose scenario, either children learn about sex too young in a classroom, or they hear about sex too young on TikTok, Youtube, or by their friends/siblings.

That being said, it has never been hidden from children that adults/teens have relationships. I know that it's not uncommon for young kids to say "I have a crush/boyfriend/girlfriend at school" (who is another kid their age) and it's an innocent "crush" (not even that) where they are just copying what they see adults doing. That makes me wonder, do you think it is harmful for those innocent events to occur, or do you think it is it only harmful when it is homosexual in nature? And why is it different, if it is?

Ah, well that's not good. If teenage pregnancy is a big issue in the UK they should be trying to improve their sex ed curriculum and enforcing the importance of safe sex. Although that's very young to be sexually active.. and drinking?! I'm guessing that's not legal.

I'm more concerned with the pedophilia thing. I want to say that I've never met an LGBTQ+ person who supports legalizing it.. quite the contrary, since we tend to consider consent very important. Whoever is behind that is revolting and I really hope that's not legalized and that enough people are protesting and angry about it. Like you said, I haven't heard about any of this, since the media doesn't cover it (or if they do, it's not a priority).

Also, is that really happening with the police? I mean ACAB all the way, but I didn't know it was that bad.

Out of curiosity, is this happening all throughout the UK, or mainly just England?

That does sound really scary honestly, and I'm happy people aren't just sitting around and allowing it to happen, even if it's falling on deaf ears for the time being.
