This may shock some people, but . . . kids lie to pollsters! My guess? If they put “kitty” and “puppy” on the list, the ones who choose from the LGBTQIAPK list would instead pick to be their favorite pet - and then laugh about it as the adults took them seriously.
There is also an element of perverts promoting their own sickness or trying to make kids more vulnerable to predators, but I think simple lying is the major cause.
Kids will be able to dress as furries daily at school if this crap keeps up.
