When I was twenty, I left a book on coming to terms with your teenage LGBTQness I was reviewing for college lying around the house without really thinking about much beyond, maybe, "hell maybe someone besides me will read this and catch a tiny bit of empathy? probably not but you never know." My mother found it and screamed at me that I was going to "confuse" my nine-year-old sister.
At one point she yelled at me that she'd intended to teach Sister about sexuality "when she was older," and I pointed out that the sum total of my formal sex ed was some worksheet tests out of my health class book and one deeply creepy abstinence-only pan-Jesus workshop she dragged me to, and that she had said literally nothing about the topic ever when I had been a teenager.
I am not remotely shocked by this lady or her beliefs. Anyway, my sister's bi now, but I'm going to assume that was probably unrelated.
