Your message isn't just insulting, it's abusive, and hate speech. I'm sure you know perfectly well it isn't possible to indoctrinate someone into being gay. I'm sure you know perfectly well it isn’t possible to force someone into being gay. I'm sure you know perfectly well that acknowledging to school children that gay and trans people exist will have no tendency to make them either gay or trans.

Bringing pedophiles into the conversation is nothing but a disingenuous, personal insult.

I don't know what your problem is as someone who claims to be LGBTQ, but you are obviously a deeply self-loathing, deeply homophobic person.

If you think treating LGBTQ people as if we were just normal is creating divisiveness, then you are dealing with an enormous amount of cognitive dissonance.

You remind me of the gay homophobes who belong to the Log Cabin Republicans, support Trump, and oppose the Equality Act.

But then, if you honestly believe it's possible to intimidate or indoctrinate someone into being gay, you clearly aren't even qualified to participate in this conversation. You are deeply, deeply ignorant.

If you don't believe that but you said it anyway, then I can't even imagine what you're trying to accomplish.

It just goes to show that in any marginalized minority, you will find a small sliver of quislings or collaborators.
