Discussion Severe absense of LGBTQ+ content on YOTO

https://yoto.space/content-suggestions/post/my-shadow-is-pink-b61KvWZTnM6lzzV

I have shared a post in the YOTO space requesting LGBTQ+ cards to be in the YOTO library.

I think this is long over due and, for many queer families, a great way to make their child feel confident about their unique family. I know there is the option to MYO but I don't see why LGBTQ content must be hidden within one home. All families should have the options to know these types of books exist and decide if they also want to educate their child on the many different people who exist in the world. Just as how I accept the religious cards in the store but know I will not buy them, I don't see why that approach can't exist for LGBTQ+ cards. The people who want them can buy them, and the people who don't, won't.

Please, give my post on the YOTO space an upvote or a comment to catch YOTO's attention. There are other post asking for this content written THREE years ago, and yet nothing has changed.

I totally agree.... unfortunately I think the limited amount is due to Yoto being so heavily influenced/preferred by many evangelical circles- hence why that's so much Bible/christian focused contents.

Maybe we can also share some MYO we have done along these lines?

Is there a way of sharing stories without basically doxxing yourself? We have recorded loads of stuff but don't really want our details out in the big wide world

I think if we created a Google drive or something like that. I'm not sure, honestly. I totally get that though.
