Yup, it bars teachers or 3rd parties to provide any education to children regarding gender identity or sexuality in a manner that is not "age or developmentally appropriate".
Up front it sounds like a reasonable thing, but a major problem is that there is no established basis for what is "age or developmentally appropriate".
While a teacher may tell kindergarteners that some women want to wear suits and some men want to wear dresses, they are now open to lawsuits from an angry parent can declare the lesson to be inappropriate and take the teacher to court in violation of this law.
added in edit - Laws like this are so very problematic because they are based on individual interpretation. By leaving sections of the law vague, they create fear. Parents are suddenly worried their kids are being taught inappropriate things and teachers are scared that they will be sued for telling a 3rd grader that "yes I am a man and I have a husband, I am gay".
