Unsurprisingly, the LGBT alphabet soup also faces internal oppression and prejudice. But one piece of news caught the attention of the international media: two gay parents rejected their daughter, who is a transgender woman.

The girl, whose name is Bey, aged 22, told the website GayStarNews that, like most trans people, he also did not find love, respect and support from gay parents.
According to the young woman, her parents refuse to call her by her female name, declaring that she is just "confused" and that she is "just a homosexual man, who thinks he is a woman." The girl then unsuccessfully responds: "I'm a heterosexual woman."
In the interview, she reveals that her parents' negative reaction was a surprise, but says she hopes they start to take her seriously after the surgeries. She has already had breast implants.

Despite the fights, the girl preserves her parents' image so that they are not persecuted. And she doesn't even want there to be a negative image about homosexual parenthood. For Bey, her parents are like any other family, with the complete package, flaws and dramas. "Don't misunderstand my parents, they are incredible, but there are things that aren't always a bed of roses," she declares.
