Let's not mistake this for regression!
15 years ago it would have been literally unthinkable to e.g. do a drag queen story time with kids or have teachers talk about their sexual orientations. Now it's an active cultural battlefield, on which the pro-queer side has evidently made significant progress.

When I was a kid, I well remember teachers talking about their sexual orientations, like how one teacher took time off when his wife gave birth to their kids.
