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?

Early children ruin lives. Early sex with out risk of child is fine.

Every parent of a gay or bisexual child iv ever talked to about this topic has had the same thought process.

If not for the risk of early grandkid then they wouldn't really care.

Teenagers are horny they going to do what animals do. But they arnt smart enough generally to do it safely in most cases.
