And They still seem to be at that range where they can learn that anyone can love anyone

They're SIX! Their knowledge of 'love' begins and ends at 'I love my mommy/daddy/brother/sister/puppy/kitty.' They have little to no understanding of romance period. The concept of 'straight' eludes them, never-mind 'LGBT'. There's probably a decent portion who would hear the LGBT explanation and think it means it's okay for them to love their same-sex siblings the same as their opposite-sex siblings because, at this point, 'boy/girl' is pretty much defined more by if they like blue/pink and hair length than anything about their bodies or anything. Yet you're saying they should be introduced to something sexual when they could reasonably have their age doubled and not hit puberty? To most of them 'romance' is a care-bear kissing another on the cheek and one of them getting red cheeks and acting funny.

I'm not against LGBT stuff being taught in schools, but as part of a lesson aimed at teens who are actually in a position where they can understand it. Not children who think they can grow up to be a cheetah.

Edit: And I don't even understand why this is an issue. Because the purpose of my original post was to point out that a middle ground is rapidly shrinking if it even still exists and you're effectively put in a position where you have to agree with an extreme instead of a more moderate/central position. Not if LGBT should or shouldn't be taught in schools or not. That was just an example I picked where the positions were getting vastly divided.
