For kids its VERY VERY important to know about social issues and have sense of compassion in order to make word a better and more inclusive place, otherwise we are just making a generation who will further degrade destroy Earth. Using kids as a defense argument only shows inability to find a valid scientific evidence to support a repeal of inclusiveness of minority groups.
You ARE committing a crime by using hate speech at the first place. You can't have your cake and eat it too. If you support absolute freedom of speech you can't not to support absolute freedom of everything (including other crimes.)
There is a reason why free speech is not absolute, why is always regulated and why you can end up in a joint for using it at the wrong person. Not country has or will ever have absolute freedom of speech.
For your first statement, while yes it is important to know about social issues, I don’t believe we should force education on such topics in schools, some people are blatantly homphobic, and it’s sad, and yes we should deal with that problem, but I hate how if you slip up on anything in our modern generation, you get “cancelled” and then labeled a bigot, I noticed (in my own life) this culture only became prevalent just two years ago, and for me it was an unfortunate societal shift, those issues have their place and importance, but I wish we didn’t have to focus so much on them and being “correct”
So.. by that logic slavery should never have ended?
Its important to address social issues, to know them. Its important to make world inclusive, better, modern and safe place for EVERYONE. LGBTQ+ having their presence, issues addressed and rights is not "unfortunate". We are humans as well for the sake of Apollo. Time where you can be homophobic and "accidentally slip up" a slur or two doesn't exist anymore as it should not. World doesn't revolve around white cis men.
