So today we got the full health curriculum for the district. I went through grades k-3 and did a search for gay, trans, and anal. Not one hit except analyze.
Jumped to 7th grade, where my oldest is, searched gay, transgender, anal, liter box, critical race theory. Not one hit for any of them.
It is almost as if right wing media is gaslighting people in an attempt to create a culture war.

Your kids in a private school?
There is no doubt more and more LGBT+ curriculum is being rolled out nationwide (plenty of articles out there), there is no "gaslighting" about this if that's what you mean. Now if you mean gaslighting as in "grooming" aka "making kids gay", I don't disagree with you.
NJ law was passed in 2019-2020 so maybe books not yet created? Below law is for middle school+ (although I read some other blurb it was K-12) so assume you should have (or will) see something for your 7th grader.
FWIW, I do think middle school is a good age to start discussing. 3rd graders, not so much

A year ago, New Jersey became the second state, following California, to pass a law requiring public schools to incorporate an LGBTQ-inclusive curriculum into their classrooms; Colorado and Illinois soon followed suit. And ahead of the statewide law, which goes into effect in September, the nonprofit groups Garden State Equality and Make It Better for Youth rolled out a pilot program last month in 12 public schools across the state, including Newark Arts High School, that will run until the end of the school year in June.
