You should have included context, but even then there likely isnt a reason to explain it further than telling them its normal. Like how different people like different flavors of ice cream.
Here's the context. I'm closeted and trying to help my sister not become a conservative nutcase. She's in a church school so I have to act fast while I still have time. Thank you for the advice tho
maybe watch cartoons and stuff with normalised lgbt relationships ?
That was my idea I just don't know any that are ok for young kids
The Owl House should be good for all ages
I personally know Gravity Falls (smaller representation) and The Owl House (in your face representation) to be good. They're aimed at kids a bit above her age, so you might want to wait 1-3 years to show her them.
The Bravest Knight on Hulu. The focal character is the daughter of two men, who both appear regularly.
Edit: Also “Ridley Jones” on Netflix. It’s an Indiana Jones kind of thing. The two gay fathers of one of the side characters feature a lot less, so you could cherry pick some episodes.
Steven Universe? If that's too in your face with it there's a Netflix show which casually has a gay character which may fly easier since it's not really a big deal. Can't find the name right now.
Edit: it's kipo. Watch that together?
