You can teach your children about discriminatory behavior by showing them positive examples of inclusivity and leading by example. For instance, you can invite families from different cultural backgrounds to come over for a meal or attend events where all kinds of people are celebrated. When it comes to the unnecessary expense incurred due to special office equipment for your disabled colleague, emphasize on the larger picture that these resources are investments in making everyone more comfortable and productive while at work.  You can also discuss with them alternatives like providing additional training for colleagues on how to effectively communicate and work with disabled individuals.

It is important for us to be understanding and accepting of everyone's differences, and when we are able to do so without judgement it will create a more harmonious society. Therefore, I would want my children to understand that the discrimination against the LGBTQ+ community goes against what we strive for as a society - tolerance and respect. Similarly, providing special office equipment might seem costly but may actually increase productivity overall if your colleague can more easily do their job. Therefore, instead of dismissing the request outright it might be worth discussing potential solutions together that could make both accommodations while still having consideration for the expense as a whole.
