too young and too soon to try and influence them one way or another
just let them be kids for just a little while for godsakes!  
Next thing you know they will be asked to write on thier desk name tags what they identify as in kindergarten.i.e his, him omnisexual etc....
IMO middle school is a better starting point

PS I voted Dem last election  but we all are not the same!!

  

Is it influence or information?  That is the question, because I'd wager a lot of people will say it robs middle school children of their innocence to talk about this at that age, too.

I'm playing devils advocate and all, but to me equating discussing stuff with kids to robbing them of their innocence sounds like something the Amish would say.

I will say that our society is very "I'll tell you when you're older" about all sorts of sexual stuff (even the ultra vanilla and societally-accepted stuff), so maybe this is just another form of that.  Sex?  Ehh...don't burden kids' souls with that weird stuff, no let's get back to our fixation on violence!

I've always found stuff like this interesting.  My parents didn't protect me from asking about the existence of gays, but they were seen as prudes because I wasn't watching slasher films when I was 7 like other kids.  What an odd society we live in.
