Minors can have unfettered access to the web once grown up and yes the parents should be able to decide when that is to some point (that point being the 18th birthday). There is really no reason kids need to be able to "explore their sexuality" any earlier than that.

Okay Pastor touchems.

Sexuality is part of the human condition that doesn't start on one's 18th birthday just because over-protective parents want complete control of their child.

It's weird that parents believe they need to control every facet of their child's life, down to being able to learn about why they feel the way they do. It's a form of abuse and coercion.
