It is impossible to get a complete (to a high school level) understanding of those topics without being aware that gay and trans people exist, that their rights and place in society have been the subject of considerable contention, and helping students assess and incorporate that into their knowledge of the world.

---------------------

It is one thing to teach that such people exist and their rights should be acknowledged and respected. But also teach they are nothing special, just another person. And it is quite another thing to suggest to an adolescent that their angst may be rooted in the fact they are living in the wrong body and perhaps they should talk to their guidance counselor about it. And until we get this figured out, it is best to not let your parents know.

have been the subject of considerable contention

It wasn't nearly as contentious until the trans women started invading women's spaces. But hey, how can I be free unless I can wash my hairy balls in the same shower as your teenage daughter. My rights supersede your daughters rights.
