So, you know that all parents use their children to make statements and you think it's always wrong for parents to do that. Cool.

No, that's not "life" and don't use prayer and God to encourage people to be silent participants.

Only people who were raised in basements with no human contact other than their parents live their lives solely based on what their parents molded them to become. That also applies to the kids in this article. The parents know that they will be exposed to all of the complexities that life has to offer. The goal is to work towards challenging people's assumptions about "life." I have people in my life who have dedicated their personal and professional lives to challenging gender norms. It's a daily journey for them and they have been met with daily opposition--yet, they choose to keep going. I hope the kids in this article are able to choose whether to stop or keep going versus being forced to keep going.
