Only if you operate from the premise that children have to behave demonstrably gay to show they're gay. Otherwise, you're just assuming they're straight without them showing any interest in sex yet.

What's an LGBTQ supporter anyways? Just somebody who's not homophobic?

While I would not qualify based on what the OP said there, so I did not vote, trying to portray children in a non-natural manner is just bad for society in general. it potentially confuses people etc. either way, it won't positively effect society overall (the simple reason... it's not of God to portray kids in a disordered manner).
p.s. hell, I think Hollywood etc already tries to act like there is boatloads of gays and the like (you can see these aspects are pushed more in movies then they used to be) but I heard it was only something around a estimated 2% of the population that are gay and the like but yet this stuff is pushed by Hollywood and all of this other BS as they go further left.

I fully support gay rights and all but that is pretty young for that kind of material. What I mean is at those ages you are pretty much trying to figure yourself out. Most are figuring out their sexuality.

I'd be very much pro-equal rights for LGBT people, but I don't think it's a good idea to be cementing children's sexual orientation in that manner at such a young age. Plenty of time for that sort of stuff once they're a little older. Movies shouldn't be over-sexualising pre-teens.

Most are figuring out their sexuality. Agreed. The age range OP indicated though might even be too young to be even figuring that stuff out.

Most are figuring out their sexuality. While I can't speak for all, I can say that I figured out my sexuality early on in life when I found myself attracted to a number of girls throughout elementary school. Plus, seeing more LGBTQ kids in movies and on TV can help some people to figure out their own sexuality rather than largely ignoring it in mainstream media.

I'm not talking about over-sexualizing pre-teens. Just as straight kids are portrayed as having crushes and sometimes dating the opposite gender, the same would apply to gay and lesbian kids.

Would you like to see Hollywood regularly portray LGBTQ children (like ages 6-12) in movies and TV?
For the most part, I only see teen and adult LGBTQ characters. If people are born with various sexual orientations and sexual identities, wouldn't it make sense for Hollywood to show more of these characters as children in movies and TV shows? Very poorly worded question. What do you mean by "regularly"? Probably many participants in your poll won't understand what you mean by that. How might an LGBTQ character under the age of 13 be portrayed in movies or tv? Probably most participants in your poll won't understand what you are getting at with your question as it was phrased, because most probably assume there is no sexuality before 13, and they probably aren't even considering the issue of gender identity. For those who feel under 13 is too young for any of these issues to be relevant, consider that children under 13 are very aware of gender identity and which gender they wish to act as and be treated as. One of the lead characters in the movie Fried Green Tomatoes, for instance, was shown as a very gender-non-conforming tomboy in the beginning of the film.

The TV series A Million Little Things has a character, Danny, who's about eleven or twelve and has a crush on another boy. Never saw this done on TV before, and it's not something that gets much screen time.
Sexuality is natural, no matter what your sexuality is. Not to knock anyone's religious beliefs, but to not mention it is like accepting it.

I think kids should just be allowed to be kids. Devoting time and energy to emphasising the different sexual orientations of people who are far too young to be sexually active seems pointless to me. A form of tokenism.
