shoujo-ai

Anime, manga, or fanfic that depicts non-explicit lesbian relationships. Usually focuses on the romantic/ loving/ emotional side of the relationship, unlike yuri which focuses on the passionate/ lustful/ physical side. Usually no more than PG-13 rated.
Most people who are not against homosexuality would have no problem with their kids seeing shoujo-ai.
