Why though? Why wait until they are teens? Kids have eyes and ears; they see and hear what’s going on around them. They see mommy and daddy hold hands, kiss and hug. They understand when two people are in love. And they see lots of media with couples in them.

Then this scene comes along, they see it and ask "Are these girls in love?", then the parent says "Yes", then the kid again asks "Can two girls be in love too?" and mommy or daddy say "Sure" and... that's it.

There doesn't need to be drama attached, a child will ask questions and an adult answers them. It is always the adult in this situation that creates the issues here, not the child. The child is willing to learn and accept. But when a parent is like "No this is wrong" or screams at the TV or franticly acts like something’s wrong, that's then the kid gets the impression that something is amiss.

And even if the household is accepting, the problems arise when the child that already had its questions answered is confronted with other kids who have been drilled to see two girls in love as something bad, or other adults who march through the streets shunning gay people.

Waiting until they are teens is saying that this kind of stuff is somehow more complicated or challenging for children to see and understand when it really isn't. They already know a man and a woman that hold hands like each other; they are ready to expand that knowledge to the point that two men or two women can do the same.
