even if you can't you can say it, like:
but in reality "how will i explain to my kids" has never been a genuine question. you can say "some people do that" and that is all the explanation needed. no, this is just code for "i don't want to see this myself, and I'm using my children as an excuse".
I've found with my kids "I don't really know, how about we look it up together" is very effective.
it is, and I've even learned some things because of it. I'm just saying if you're really trying to avoid the issue you can just do it, it's not like you're giving a testimony.
It's also code for "I really hate myself for who I am on the inside, and seeing other people be their authentic selves makes me sad, angry, and confused. If my kids learned that it was OK to be themselves, I would lose my shit. They must suffer as I have suffered."
