Parents of Lemmy, would you have your kids keep the bedroom door open when the gender they were attracted to comes over? (sh.itjust.works)

Growing up, I was always told that boys could come over if I leave the bedroom door open, and I see a lot with my friends that the girls would not be allowed to have boys over/in the bedroom/have the bedroom door closed or viceversa (boys with girls).

When I realized I may be gay and trans (masc), my parents were accepting and allowed me to have the door closed with girls because I was gay and still not with boys.

Then, I had a boyfriend and they said I could keep the door closed with anyone except my boyfriend.

Now, I'm nonbinary and bisexual. Would you allow your kids to close the door?

Trying to compare safe sex with alcohol consumption is wild.

Just focusing on the liability here and the reality that children may do it regardless of legality.

With that in mind, are you saying that if your state does have a Romeo and Juliet law you'd be fine with offering a private and safe space for your children

That would change my posture.

you were complicit in helping those juvenile criminals avoid legal persecution by not informing law enforcement.

Nope. I am not obligated to report the issue to the authorities if Inform the other child's parents and take steps to prevent future occurrence.

Or you can get another kitchen scene. Right in front of your salad.

Don't be facetious Jeffery.
