Heterosexuality isn't invisible at all in schools! The total opposite really. I kind of understand. Most heterosexuals are conditioned in such a way to be totally blind to heteronormative culture which is everywhere, and totally dominant. To them that is normal so they simply don't see it. The kids that happen to feel "different from the others" certainly feel the rampant, blatant heteronormative culture and sadly it makes them feel alienated, often depressed, and tragically much more suicidal ideation or even actual suicide than non queer youth. Messages even from ONE caring adult that their life still has value regardless of their difference can have a huge benefit. Yes such messages might also come in a book, in a movie, perhaps even a Pride flag.

MIsuse of the word grooming by the anti LGBTQ right wing. https://www.adl.org/resources/blog/what-grooming-truth-behind-dangerous-bigoted-lie-targeting-lgbtq-community What is “Grooming?” The Truth Behind the Dangerous, Bigoted Lie Targeting the LGBTQ+ Community Far-right and extremist voices have launched a significant attack against the LGBTQ+ community in 2021-2022, demonizing people via repeated false claims that LGBTQ+ people are “pedophiles” who are “grooming” children in order to abuse them. This false and malicious narrative has been weaponized to label the LGBTQ+ community as “groomers” and has fueled a slew of hostile legislation and policies aimed at erasing the discussion of LGBTQ+ related issues in schools, removing LGBTQ+ books from schools and public libraries and, especially, to ostracize, defame and harass transgender people.
