It was called Love in Bloom.. Made in Australia, which may be
how they got away with that 'limited' cast..

I don't go to theaters so I generally see slightly older films
or made for TV films rather than the current big movies.

But, that said, every show and movie I've seen made in the past
10 years or so there are always gay or trans major characters in
the cast plus a good collection of non-white actors as well.

I have nothing against that, but I'm not sure about showing more
of things than you'd see in real life, unless the movie/show was
specifically about that group, which is also fine IMHO.
If people don't want to watch it they won't..

Also, my niece is a kindergarten teacher and she says that LGBQ+
sex is being taught to kids as young as 5 and 6 years old, where
they would never teach them about 'straight' sex at that age.

On the racial side of things, I can certainly see having books
that show a sampling of all people but get this one..

For the last few years all books in the school library with
ANY white people in them was removed. NO white people allowed.

Fortunately, as of last year, the principal of that school was
replaced/retired/? and the new one got rid of that policy.
