No one is trying to sexualize our children. Society, the shows they watch, and the games they play do that well enough for them. What we are trying to do is encourage acceptance of different types of families.
Education research shows that children are able to discuss these types of issues, and that it is GOOD for them--to be able to flush out their thoughts and opinions. Specifically, the National Association for the Education of "Young Children" (NAEYC), supports this practice as well, with "young children" being categorized as K-2, not K-9.
I suggest you start working in a school, or do your research, prior to making generalized statements about what is appropriate for children.
