Barbara, 

The LGBTQ rights movement has come a long way, but the struggle is far from over. LGBTQ youth still feel isolation, ostracism and fear and youth groups allow youth to feel like they are no longer alone. 

You write “But I draw the line at exposing my children to things that I believe are not morally right for me or them”. You believe youth who identify as LGBTQ, who know that they could be made homeless through parent’s intolerance, bullied, or killed for being LGBTQ shouldn’t know that there are safe spaces available to them because other youth might also get to learn about these safe spaces? 

There is also the increasingly long list of suicides which have been attributed to bullying https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_suicides_that_have_been_attributed_to_bullying.  These are youth who are dying because they feel isolated and hated, and remember that as you continue to try to take away a safe space that has been created for them.
