    Because there are deeply bigoted parents that would hit their child if they found out. Maybe try to see it from their viewpoint?

      That’s why I commented a question asking for rationale behind a different viewpoint. Thanks stranger, that makes sense.

      I’ve been arguing exactly this with someone else somewhere in this thread. There are children who would be abused/kicked out of their home over this sort of thing.

      I’d happy waiting until my child is ready to tell me to learn of certain aspects about them if it means protecting another from harm of this sort.

      The problem I feel is the very parents demanding to know this information are the exact parents you wouldn’t want knowing this information for their child’s sake.
