Parents do not have a choice, this is the new norm. The only way to change that is through legislation by denying certain couples the right to be parents or through segregation. Though, honestly, I don't think there's anyway the genie can be put back in the lamp; case in point, here's a shot of the kids' book section at my local TJMaxx store where I bring my kids to shop (and sometimes find TF toys).
The fact that you said that parents have "no choice" in their children being aware that people who don't live the way do existing is pretty telling about what you're against. Sorry, but people exist, and your children having fellow students whose parents are gay or trans doesn't take anything away from you.
What about trans or non-binary kids who grow up in insular communities, and never get to see or meet anyone who experiences the same thing they do? How lonely and alienating that must be, compared to seeing someone like you in your favorite kids show.
