I had a friend who came from a small provincial town.
He came out and had his first relationship with a man at 25.
Later he told me, that deep down he always knew what was in his nature but was in denial about it. Part of that denial stemmed from coming from a background where homosexuality was not accepted and people assumed that there was only one way to be. Instead of being happy, he'd carried guilt through his young adulthood. He'd tried to have relationships with women because he wanted to change his nature but he couldn't because he was gay. He was struggling to accept himself as a person.
Imagine having to go through that? Imagine wanting to put a child through that?
Educate young people about the world as it is. This shouldn't even be a political issue, it's about basic human decency.
